I disagree. It is the confusion of classes and structs (along with the
confusion of class-as-type-definition and class-as-module) that leads to
absurdities such as the following:
class C {
protected:
typedef ... T;
static T x; // perfectly legal
struct S {
T x; // illegal: protected "member" T inaccessible inside
} y; // a struct, despite nesting.
}
