Yes, I kept that intentionally. There can be programs where some
objects still use that typedef, if those objects were compiled with
GCC 8.x or older.

Thanks for figuring out what was going wrong here, and how to fix it.

I don't really like this part of the change though:

As the docs for FilteringTypePrinter says, the first argument is
supposed to be the class template name:
class FilteringTypePrinter(object):
r"""
A type printer that uses typedef names for common template specializations.
Args:
match (str): The class template to recognize.
name (str): The typedef-name that will be used instead.
Checks if a specialization of the class template 'match' is the same type
as the typedef 'name', and prints it as 'name' instead.
e.g. if an instantiation of std::basic_istream<C, T> is the same type as
std::istream then print it as std::istream.
"""
With this change, the "class template" is sometimes just a string
prefix of a particular specialization, e.g. "basic_string<char"
The class template is "basic_string", and that's how the
FilteringTypePrinter was intended to work.
How about something like the attached (untested) change instead. which
keeps the 'match' argument as the class template name, but optionally
supports passing the first template argument? Then you can use
match.split('::')[-1] is 'basic_string' to check if we are dealing
with one of the possibly ambiguous typedefs.
