The fix is usually to make sure that the appropriate declaration of a
non-dependent name is visible before the name is used. Extra
qualification doesn't usually help AFAICT.
Oh, I guess that if the name is a member of a base class, then the fix
is to write ``this->member_name'' or ``BaseClass::member_name''
instead of just ``member_name''. That can be viewed as adding
qualification. However, that doesn't _appear_ to be the problem in the
case below, and in any case I recomment using ``this->'' when possible
because it's more reliable.
