Yeah right, like we really need to grow the language even more by
providing for new ambiguities:

    struct W {
	void g();
	void f();   // new member function to W
    };
    struct X ....   // similar to above example
    struct Y ....   // similar to above example

    Y y;
    y.f();   // Ambiguity: y.x.f()? Or (*y.pw).f()?
