 Not a bug. §14.6p5:  "The keyword typename shall only be used in template
 declarations and definitions [...]  The keyword typename shall only be
 applied to qualified names, but those names need not be dependent."
 
 In other words, you cannot use 'typename' outside templates. You cannot use
 'typename' with unqualified names. You can use 'typename' for non-dependent
 qualified names (but it's not necessary). You must use 'typename' with
 dependent qualified names.
