After checking the August 1995 C++ ISO Committee Draft, it appears that the
above code is *not* legal, although most compilers accept it.

"8.3 Meaning of declarators

[...] A declarator-id shall be a simple identifier, except for the following
cases: the declaration of some special functions, the definition of a member
function, the definition of a static data member, the declaration of a friend
function that is a member of another class."

So, a declarator-id for a class member *declaration* shall be a simple
identifier.

Well, as long as I my understanding of the CD is correct.

  Jerome.
