 The ICE and the strange error messages when you remove some arguments
 of the constructor of LaoSyllable are fixed with the new parser in gcc 3.4.
 
 Here's a cleaned-up testcase:
 -----------------------------snip here----------------------------
 struct A
 {
     enum E { e };
     A(E);
 };
 
 struct B
 {
     enum F { f };
     B(F);
 };
 
 struct C
 {
     C(A, B, A);
 };
 
 C c(A(A::e), B(B::f), A(A::e));
 -----------------------------snip here----------------------------
 
 With gcc 3.4 20030106 I now get:
 bug.cc:18: error: cannot use `::' in parameter declaration
 bug.cc:18: error: cannot use `::' in parameter declaration
 bug.cc:18: error: cannot use `::' in parameter declaration
 
 I don't know whether these messages are correct - I also get them with
 other compilers, but I don't know why. Especially since "A a(A::e);"
 seems to be valid.
 
 I just leave that to the language experts.

 Volker
