Dear John, (where have I heard this song before, Status Quo perhaps?)

a) It was just an example, in real life I'd called the base class implementation A::L::f() and done something 
useful in addition.
b) B::L::f() IS a regular member function, not a static one, so the compiler does have a this pointer! The 
problem is the compiler which thinks is a static member function. I've tried it on other compilers (on both Mac 
and Sun), and they have no trouble with it.

PS. thanks anyhow for your response
