| How can it work? The default parameter can be dependent on previous template 
| parameters. For instace, in vector, the default type in the most general 
| template would be something like std::allocator<T> (with T being a previous 
| template parameter), while the type in the instantiation is something like 
| std::allocator<int>.

cp/cxx-pretty-print.c

Yes.  Curently, the pretty-printing job is done by both error.c and
cxx-pretty-print.c.  But, the goal is to move the codes to the latter.

you're just mistaken.  I have been modifying the codes for long time
now, and I have an idea of the code path.
