Not a bug, IMO. There's no reason to think we're writing in a template here, and I see no reason to complicate the example by making that assumption.

GNU C++ treats the sample code as a syntax error. Template member functions should be called preceded with the template keyword. I do not understand what you mean by ''writing in a template''.
