It's to allow for the declaration of constructors:

 class A
 {
    A ();
 };

You can't specify a constructor in an expression, so a constructor
isn't an id-expression.

But I think class-name instead of type-name here would make the
grammar clearer.

Hi everyone,

The standard provides the following syntax for a declarator-id.

declarator-id:
   id-expression
   ::opt nested-name-specifieropt type-name

While I can easily understand the first choice I cannot think of an
example where the second choice is used.

Can anyone come up with an example where a declarator-id is:
  ::opt nested-name-specifieropt type-name
?

Maybe I don't realize something, but this doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks very much
Kiril
