Explore an innovative approach to overloading the direct member access (dot) operator in C++ programming. Delve into a method that makes the name available through meta-programming, differing from the classic approach of forwarding name lookup to a different object. Examine an experimental implementation in the Clang compiler, discussing use case implementations, feature usability, potential problems, and insights gained during the development process. Gain valuable knowledge about this advanced C++ technique and its implications for both normal and meta-programming scenarios.
