I've already explained why that's not likely to be acceptable, because identifiers are allowed before 'typedef' and it would be ambiguous. You need a different syntax. > That is why I'd want both, but at least in my mind n3515 would be nearer to > "if I really wanted it I could use classes" than the hard-typedef. I've already said N3515 is not about classes. It can be used to define strong typedefs for classes, which is needed because most types in real C++ programs are class types, but it also works for scalar types.
