Doesn't sound right to me.
I think you should either show vector<T> or include A in the "with" clause of
vector<T,A>. I'm sort of inclined to the former; Don't forget that parameter
names are not always so short. Another related issue is that "with" clauses are
sometimes unhelpful, as in the case you cite. vector<int> is much, much
clearer. GCC ought to have a heuristic based on the lengths of the version with
the "with" clause and the version with a full argument substitution, to decide
whether to use "with" or just substitute the arguments in-line.
