I guess you mean something like this:

	class base {
	public:
		template<class F> vois iterate() { // no const F&
			F::func();
		}
	};

	struct fun {
		static void func() {}
	};

	void set() {
		base x;
		x.iterate<fun>();	// don't work
	}

There is a special rule for postfix expression that depends explicitly
on template arguments. It looks like this:

	x.template iterate<fun>();

Did you say funny?
