4141,typeof/msvc/typeof_impl specializes base class template in derived class,jhs@…,Peder Holt,"This pieces of code from boost/typeof/msvc/typeof_impl.hpp (line 121 in 1.42.0) specializes the base class id2type_tmpl and then declares a local template with the same name.   It is marked as a VC8 bugfeature, but I don't know if that is for this reason, or just because it uses the Microsoft in-class specialization feature.

We ran into this because our failure to accept this was reported as a bug in the EDG front end's MIcrosoft mode.
