Template Explicit Instantiation error

[GodfatherofSoul <godfatherofsoul2004 at yahoo dot com>]

I'm trying to migrate some Visual Studio code to gcc, but I'm getting errors
with some of our template usage:

class ParentClass
{
public:
  class NestedForwardDeclaration;

  template class SomeTemplateClass<NestedForwardDeclaration>;

  class NestedForwardDeclaration
  {
  ...
  };

};

BTW, this is distilled down to the core cause of the problem, so you really
can't see the rationale for this convention.  The complication error I get
is on the "template class.." line:

error: expected `<' before 'class'

Does anyone understand why this fails?  Note that this same code compiles
and runs with the Microsoft compiler.
