I know your question is pretty much answered, but to give you some 
historical perspective, the long form WAS allowed in the past (it may 
still be that way in D1), and I think there were ambiguity problems as 
described. So you can no longer do that.

It was actually much more restrictive before -- e.g. in order to do an 
eponymous template, you could have no other members in the template.

Probably we should adjust the examples to remove those that no longer work.
