Re: Template declaration inside function

g++ 4.0/3.4 gives:

Can a language lawer please confirm that this is even valid before I
create a PR?


It's not valid (local template declarations are not allowed, see
14(2)), but it makes sense to create a PR.  The error message is very
hard to understand.

This is now enhancement/22138.
