See 14.2 Names of template specializations [temp.names], paragraph 4, of the
C++ standard.

As a workaround (for Boost) you can define BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_KEYWORD,
but this doesn't always work because not all libraries use
BOOST_NESTED_TEMPLATE (which is defined depending on
BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_KEYWORD) instead of a hardcoded "template". So it's
not really a showstopper, but it is a bit annoying.


bye, Christof
