 >Description:
         Since the first bug report did not include the full cpp output
 and Thomas' one did neither - here is a one that is standalone and does
 not use the new libstdc++.
 
         A using declaration does not forward all of the overloaded
         member functions. 
  
         KaiCC/SunCC and g++-2.95 (as well as the standard AFAIK) 
         agree that the code below is legal code.
 >How-To-Repeat:
  ---
 template <typename T>
 struct Base {
   typedef T &type;
   typedef const T &const_type;
   type foo();
   const_type foo() const;
 };
 
 struct Derived: private Base<int> {
   using Base<int>::type;
   using Base<int>::const_type;
   using Base<int>::foo;
 };
 
 void foo() {
   Derived d;
   Derived::type       b = d.foo();
   Derived::const_type c = d.foo();
 }
  ---
 $ g++-3.0 test.C
 test.C: In function `void foo()':
 test.C:18: conversion from `const int' to `int&' discards qualifiers
 
 
 This bug affects all forwarding of overloaded STL container members
 like begin/end/find/...
  
 >Fix:
 A workaround:
 
     forward the members manually in the derived class:
 
 struct Derived: private Base<int> {
   using Base<int>::type;
   using Base<int>::const_type;
   type foo() { return Base<int>::foo(); }
   const_type foo() const { return Base<int>::foo(); }
 };
