It's perfectly possible for the spec to be in error (there's even the spec
keyword in Bugzilla). In this case, the code looks perfectly sensible for
someone who doesn't know the spec in detail, and getting a compiler error like
this is not expected.

Could the spec in this case be amended to allow the example code to compile,
without breaking code elsewhere? I don't know. If you know it's impossible,
please explain why, and close this bug again.
