Consider the following code sample:

struct A { };
typedef struct A A;
struct A a;                     // [1]

struct wrapper {
  struct B { };
  typedef struct B B;
  struct B b;                   // [2]
};

Mainline gives an error for line [2], but not for line [1].  My reading of the standard is that there 
shouldn't be any difference.  In both cases we're using an elaborated type specifier with a name that 
resolves to a typedef-name.  A program that does that is ill formed, so the compiler is required to 
admit a diagnostic.  We're doing that for line [2], but we're failing to do it for line [1].

Relevant passages in the standard: 3.4.4/2, 7.1.3/4, 7.1.5.3/2.
