Mr. Bright's description is correct from the perspective of pointer-to-member's use, not when declared nor instantiated.
Given Mr. Bright's role in creating Zortech C, Zortech C++, amongst other compilers, and having used the two specifically mentioned personally, I believe he has a proven understanding of C/C++ compiler implementations.
Since one can interpret Mr. Bright's statement in the form of usage or definition, the former seems most applicable when viewed in the context of the remaining text.
