I hadn't actually gotten that far :-) but it looks like that's an 
implicit-int error unrelated to the actual purpose of this option.

This ended up on my todo list firstly because "templatized" didn't 
spell-check, and secondly because the "new compiler behavior" documented 
in connection with this option has existed at least since 1998 and can 
hardly be considered "new" any more.  Also I think the reference to 
section 14.5.3 of the C++ standard is bit-rotten (it's 14.5.4 in the 
c++0x draft I have handy).

I'll leave it up to the C++ experts to decide whether the option should 
just be removed and the warning replaced with a hard error controlled by 
some other flag.  Otherwise the docs for this option need to be 
rewritten to explain what it does without reference to ancient changes 
in G++ from before templates were fully implemented.  I can take a stab 
at that if nobody else offers up some alternative text first.
