It would make life a little more complicated for the front end; when seeing "a.b", you have to generate a double COMPONENT_REF, because the internal representation is a.as_base.b. But, that's a relatively localized change. We could actually do that at gimplification/genericization-time too, I guess, which would be a nice start towards proper lowering. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22488
