In the following code:

struct A {
   void A::func() {}
};

Isn't it valid to declare the member as a qualified name, as A::func,
within scope of A? However I get "error: qualified name is not allowed
in member declaration" when using Comeau (online version 4.3.3)
compiler? Isn't that 3.4.3.1 allow a class member to be referred to
using a qualified-id at any point in its scope?

If I read 3.3.6 correctly, the potential scope of a class member name
does not include that name's declarator (in 3.3.6/1 it is explicitly
said "the declarative region following the name's declarator"), so
3.4.3.1 does not apply in this case.
