>Description:
	If a class defines an operator[] and a private base class defines
	a conversion operator to a pointer, the use of the operator[]
	can cause ambiguities.  This would be correct if the derivation
	would be public, but is wrong if the derivation is private.
>How-To-Repeat:
	See attached file:
inherit-conv.cc:
typedef unsigned int size_t;

class Base
{
public:
    typedef int *value_type;

    Base() {}

    operator value_type() const { return 0; }
    void operator=(value_type val) {}
};

class Derived : private Base
{
public:
    Derived() : p(0) {}

    Base::value_type &operator[](size_t index) { return p; }

private:
    Base::value_type p;
};

int main()
{

    Derived ppBuf;
    int *p = ppBuf[4];
    ppBuf[0] = p;

    return 0;
}
