  Which was, to be fair, released before a lot of the little niggles in
  C++ had been fully teased out.  Hence the reason for ...

  Which, as you say, is a bug.  It's a perfectly legal variable
  definition.

  All of the compilers that I've tried it on so far accept it without
  qualm (including Metaware, which is usually the strictest about this
  sort of thing).  I suspect that CSet++ 2.1 will do too.

  Moral :  When experimenting with what is legal and illegal in a
  language such as C++ that has undergone such changes within the past
  year or so, don't expect an outdated compiler to give you valid
  results.
