Why not?  You have explicitly specialized A<int>.  The specialization
is unrelated with the unspecialized template.  Particularly, it
doesn't ``inherit'' the initializer from the unspecialized template.

Unless I misunderstood your complaint (I haven't tried to compile the
code snippet), and you're just complaining that it accepts the
explicit specialization without the preceding `template<>'.
