I filed one now. I hope it’s okay that I just put it in the most recent commit message. |

The CircleCI fails due to the (I guess usual) |
Timeout |
I realized a merge was needed anyways. Generally speaking, if a timeout is the reason it failed, should I do a force push to re-do the tests? |
Currently, it is allowed that a base class is a qualified type.
The qualifier is ignored. For that reason, this change makes it a parse error, so no code fools a reader into thinking the
constdoes something. Semantics are unaffected, i.e. if atypeoftype is used which ends up being a qualified class type, the unqualified version of that class type remains a base class (no error).The assumption of this PR is that no-one actually has qualified base classes in their code base (because the qualifier does nothing but mislead the reader).
It is in the interest of the Primary Type Syntax DIP and possibly future tuple DIPs to avoid parsing ambiguities. This can be done by requiring the base class list to be lexically comprised of new-terminology basic types. Refer to the accompanying spec PR for details.
