I think I have found an error in the draft-2 grammar, that prevents
member functions from being called in expressions.

In [gram.expr]

postfix-expression:
 [snip]
 postfix-expression ( expression-listopt )                (*)
 [snip]
 postfix-expression . templateopt ::opt id-expression     (**)
 [snip]

(*) allows functions to be called, and (**) allows members to be access.
However (**) does not allow member functions to be called.

Adding the following rules do work though:

postfix-expression:
 postfix-expression . templateopt ::opt id-expression
     ( expression-listopt )
        postfix-expression -> templateopt ::opt id-expression
            ( expression-listopt )

Am I right ?
