Thanks.  I should have been clearer.  Technically, this is a GNU
extension that really goes against the C++ committee clarification.
(I don't have the DR number off hand).  There is a special code in
cp/pt.c to implement that extension.  I remember having submitted a
patch to remove it; but at the time, some people think we should keep
it around.  I don't necessarily agree.
