POD classes and pointers to members

<P>6.9 [<A href="https://wg21.link/basic.types#10">basic.types</A>] paragraph 10

defines pointer to member types to be scalar types. It
also defines scalar types to be one of the POD types.</P>

<P>Clause 11 [<A href="https://wg21.link/class#4">class</A>] paragraph 4

defines a POD struct as an aggregate class with no non-static data
members of type pointer to member.</P>

<P>It seems contradictory that a type can be POD,
yet a class containing that type
is non-POD.</P>

<P>Suggested resolution:
Alter Clause 11 [<A href="https://wg21.link/class#4">class</A>] paragraph 4

to allow pointer to member objects as non-static data members of POD
class.</P>

<P><B>Proposed resolution (10/00):</B></P>

<P>In Clause 11 [<A href="https://wg21.link/class#4">class</A>] paragraph 4, remove all occurrences of
"pointer to member."</P>
