I tried with VC10, the bug is no longer present -- at least,
    #include <list>

    namespace bar {
      using namespace std;
      template <typename x> struct xxx {};
    }

    typedef list<int> foo;
results in a compile error due to a missing identifier before < in the
typedef list<int> line.
