     'identifier' : memory-model modifier illegal on pointer to data
     member
 
     A memory-model modifier was specifed for a pointer to a data
     member.
 
     Memory-model modifiers can only be used for pointers to member
     functions.
 
     The following is an example of this error:
 
          class C
          {
          public:
             int i;
             int j;
             int func();
          };
 
          int __near C::* cpi = &C::i;  // error, __near modifier
          int C::* cpj = &C::j;         //OK
          int (__near C::* cpf)() = &C::func; // OK, not data member
