Cut it out, you two, throwing around with accusations won't do either of you any
good.

Personally, I find the concept of function hiding rather useless (and there is
quite a number of people who will agree with me) and prone to confusion. Thus I
can understand OP's consternation when he stumbled over this particular
"feature" of the C++ language. To avoid discussion like this in the future it
would be the best if the concept of "function hiding" would disappear from the
C++ language.
