There is a bug, I believe, in G++ 2.3.3.  Compiling this:

    typedef int fixed;
    class ios {
      public:
	enum { fixed = 010000 };
	enum { floatfield = fixed };
      };

...results in this:

    bug.cc:6: warning: name `int' could be type or expression; compiler assuming type
    bug.cc:6: parse error before `;'

I believe this is a bug, because the declaration of the constant "fixed"
within ios should hide the typedef declaration.  I ran into this problem
when trying to use libg++ 2.3 streams in a program which declared "fixed"
as a type.  Of course, using

	enum { floatfield = ios::fixed };

cures the problem, but editing the libg++ include files is not something
you want to require measly users to do!
