1.3.3: g++ dislikes attempt to inherit from char_traits<char>

["Robert Allan Schwartz" <notbob at tessellation dot com>]

Source code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class case_insensitive_traits : public char_traits<char>
{
};

typedef basic_string<char, case_insensitive_traits>
case_insensitive_string;

int main(void)
{
 case_insensitive_string alphabet("AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz");

 return 0;
}

Compilation errors:

deleteme.cpp:6: parse error before `<'
