 State-Changed-Why:
     Not a bug.  According to 14.7.3 p5 of the standard:
     
      ... Definitions of members of an explicitly specialized
      class are defined in the same manner as members of normal
      classes, and not using the explicit specialization syntax.
     
     Thus the 'template <>' is not allowed in the out-of-line
     definition of 'MyClass<int>::MyClass(value_type initial)'.
