In the following testcase, A::B is a private type of A, yet function f has no
trouble manipulating it. The error is detected by gcc neither in the definition
of f nor in its instantiation in g.
class A { struct B { B(); }; };
template<typename T> void f() { A::B b; }
void g() { f<int>(); }
Tested with the 4.3.3 release and the 20090912 snapshot of 4.5.0.
