One potential solution is to factor the new definition of 'f' into another
base class, e.g.,
template<typename T>
struct test_current_case {
static int f(const T& t)
{
return t;
}
};
template<typename T, typename base>
struct test_using : public test_current_case<T>, public base
{
using base::f;
using test_current_cast<T>::f;
};
I remember trying this, and I think it might have worked with GCC 2.95.3, but
I'm not entirely sure :)
