What d'you mean, where did I get it?  From my memory.  I've been
doing it that way for years.

I've never encountered "using" in that context.  I would expect
that to mean something different, to do with name resolution rather
than access control.

Certainly an old syntax, and certainly a throwback.  I rather like
it though, because it confuses all you greenhorns.  So leave it
alone.

I'll go and have a look in some old Stroustrup books and see if I
can find a reference to it.
