(I sent a message with much the same content to Abramo but forgot to 
send it to the list)

C++0x decltype has no special provisions for member functions. 
([dcl.type.simple]). clang implements this correctly, both Comeau and 
GCC crash. I suspect that the whole 'type is unknown' bit on __typeof is 
really a GCC bug rather than an intentional design decision, meaning 
that clang is correct in mirroring decltype's behavior.
