I wonder if this implements the right search rules.

Suppose you have something like:

namespace N {
  typedef double value_type;
  struct Base { typedef int value_type; };
  struct Derived : public Base { };
}

ptype N::Derived::value_type should print 'int' -- but from the
comment and placement of this code I wonder if it would print 'double'.

Pierre is trying to replace these with xsnprintf.
