There is a new restriction on protected: members that didn't use to be
in place, and I'd like to know the reasoning behind it (it breaks some
of our code, but that isn't that huge a deal in this one case).

Specifically, code that looks like

class B {
 protected: void f();
};

class D : public B {
 void foo()
};

D::foo()
{
 pmf = &B::f;  // Used to be legal, now (Sept 93 draft) isn't
 pmf = &D::f;  // Legal in ARM and ANSI
}

I'm wondering why the change was needed.  I've scratched my head
trying to think of where this may cause problems, but can't seem to
find a good example.

Can someone who knows what is going on help me out here?
