this is a known problem with C++.  It takes semantic analysis (i.e. a
compiler) reliably to distinguish between "greater than" and "close
template".  However, there are improvements to this being worked on.

Is there any chance you could supply a preferably small but complete
piece of source code which illustrates the problem?  Does the bug happen
with every -> operator, or only in certain circumstances?
