Hello,

In namespace.udecl, there is the following example :

        class A {
          private:
                  void f(char);
          public:
                  void f(int);
          protected:
                  void g();
          };

          class B : public A {
                  using A::f; // error: A::f(char) is inaccessible
          public:
                  using A::g; // B::g is a public synonym for A::g
          };

Giving public access to member g in class B was forbidden in the ARM (when
using access declarations). Does this removed limitation is the one
mentionned in the following note (in class.access.dcl) ?

Access  declarations  are  deprecated;  member  using-declarations
  (_namespace.udecl_) provide a better means of doing the  same  things.
  In earlier versions of the C++ language, access declarations were more
  limited;  they  were  generalized  and  made  equivalent   to   using-
  declarations  in  the interest of simplicity.  Programmers are encour-
  aged to use using, rather than the new capabilities of access declara-
  tions, in new code.
