 | Bug #909 does not seem to be fixed even if it is closed.
 | With g++ > 3.0, the error becomes:
 | " error: type specifier omitted for parameter `Z' "
 
 Did you try mainline a.k.a GCC-3.4 (experimental)?  I think this is a
 problem with the old parser which is trying to parse this
 
 |      A a(A::Nested(i), Z);      // ERROR:  type specifier omitted for parameter
 
 as a function declaration and chocks by the time it encounters 'Z'.
 
 |      A e(A::Nested(i));         // OK
 
 the old parser can correctly parse 'e' as a declaration of a function
 taking an 'A::Nested' and returning an 'A'.
