Ugly, but I can see the reasoning behind it now. Thanks, to you and
Scott McMurray, and the person who sent a private e-mail referring me to
the same page (who I assume wishes to remain anonymous).

I can't tell from that page, but I assume that using the "standard"
method (i.e. specifying the full base class name before the function
name) will work on what that page calls "intermediate" and "CFront"
compilers as well? In other words, does anyone here know of any
compatibility problems caused by that, or by a "using" directive in the
class to do the same thing?
