 From what you said, g++ should permit the use of the template
 keyword in the code below. But g++ still ices. So "class" needs to be
 changed to "ices-on-legal-code"..
 
 
 namespace Foo
 {
     template<typename _T>
     void test() {        
     }
 }
 
 
 template<typename _T>
 void bar()
 {    
     Foo::template test<_T>(); // this is inside a function template and
                               // should be legal
 }
 
 
 int main()
 {
     bar<int>();
 }
 
 
 thanks
