In :
template<typename T>
void foo(T) {};

template<typename T, typename P>
void bar(T, P) {}
int main() {
    bar(0, foo);
    }

you get:
~/ootbc/members/src$ g++ foo.cc
foo.cc: In function `int main()':
foo.cc:7: error: no matching function for call to `bar(int, <unknown type>)'

The second argument is not "<unknown type>"; the compiler knows it's a template 
and should say so.
