Ambiguity:
---
void foo()(T);
---
No-implementation declaration of a no-template-argument template 
function that takes a T, or no-argument function that evaluates "T"?

Of course, the practical use of a no-implementation template function 
declaration may be limited enough (is there any at all?) that banning it 
may not be much of a problem...
