I agree that it's not correct, but since g++ didn't bother at all so far
(and the one I currently use still doesn't), I find it a little hard that
this has been made right to an _error_. It wouldn't have made any difference
if it had been made a warning - except that it would still have compiled...

Anyway, I've fixed it for the next release.
