[Bug c++/13652] New: GCC gives spurious error for template function overloaded on return type.

["gprentice at paradise dot net dot nz" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

GCC fails to compile this valid code.  As per 14.5.5.1/4 a template function 
can be overloaded on the return type.  GCC says #2 ambiguates #1.
VC7.1, Comeau and BCC5.5.1 all accept the code.  See also active issue 271.
Thanks to Rani Sharoni for pointing this out.

template<typename T> long* f(T, char);    // #1
template<typename T> char* f(T, char);  // #2

int main()
{
    typedef char* (*fp1)(int, char);
    fp1 x1 = f;
    x1(3,4);
}
