Thanks for doing this.

I would suggest the slightly variation:

[...]

| --- 1696,1703 ---- 
|              template <class T> void f<int>(); */ 
|    
|           if (uses_template_parms (declarator)) 
| !           error ("partial specialization `%D'; partial specializations " 
| !                    "of function templates are not allowed in C++", 
|                       declarator); 

  error ("function template partial specialization is not allowed");

With that change, the patch is approved (can you commit?).
