 With the new parser, gives the overused message
 /home/neroden/6023.cxx:20: error: expected primary-expression
 
 which is not very helpful.  The original testcase gives worse errors:
  vektor<V>::vektor(V)
 /home/neroden/test.cxx: At global scope:
 /home/neroden/test.cxx:20: error: expected primary-expression
 /home/neroden/test.cxx:20: error: expected `)'
 /home/neroden/test.cxx:21: error: expected expected `;'
 /home/neroden/test.cxx:21: error: data member `do_calc' cannot be a member
    template
 ...and more.
 
 'expected expected' is not appropriate, ever, incidentally; someone should 
 file a bug about that but I'm feeling too lazy.
