Deewiant (news:dionmt$afm$1 digitaldaemon.com) and
Dennis Luehring (news:djo1km$280i$1 digitaldaemon.com)
pointed out some gaps in the documentation of nested classes.

http://digitalmars.com/d/class.html#nested






class Outer{
    class Inner{
        void foo(){
            Inner i = new Inner;
        }
    }
}

void bar(){
    Outer o = new Outer;
    Outer.Inner i = new o.Inner;
}

In both cases the context pointer information seems
to be present but unused by DMD-0.137.

The samples on the documentation page don't classify the foo
and bar cases as "Ok" or "Error". In addition the documentation
doesn't explicitly state how the necessary context pointer
information has to be provided.

I've added both cases to DStress as
http://dstress.kuehne.cn/undefined/class_19_A.d
http://dstress.kuehne.cn/undefined/class_19_B.d

but I think, it's sensible and in line with other languages
like Java to legalize both situations.

Thomas
