I have an example of code like this:

This code fails during compilation with message:

Compilation output:

So question is: is this intended behaviour and I'm missing something
about eponymous templates? Or is it a bug in compiler?

This is troubling. So you can never access struct Name inside there? 
This USED to work IIRC, but then again, the eponymous trick only used to 
work if there was only one member in the template.
