The above code compiles with gcc but doesn't with Intel 10.1
Hmm, comeau online rejects this code, too. (Not too surprising, I think 
Intel uses the comeau front end.) It's possible this is a gcc bug, not 
an Intel bug. When I have some time, I'll dive into the standard and see 
what it says about this case.
