I agree. I've been hacking around this by using #define BASE and

respectively. When I want to refer to a specific class, I use class::
and when I want to refer to the base class I use BASE::.

Bye-bye efficiency -- not to mention comprehensibility! It's not
worth it! Maybe in a special dialect called C++Flavors.
