I have to add that it's always possible for the compiler to find out 
what you want, it's just a matter of _when_ he can find it out.

One reason the g++ developers made this change was for sure that they 
rewrote the parser.

If you do not enforce the standard you have to do a full template 
instantiation before you can determine all types, (and this might even 
need some iterations !).

So, writing a c++ parser is easier by enforcing this standard rule.
