[Bug c++/15711] New: unable to take address of function template specilization

[chris at uzdavinis dot com]

I expect the following to compile, but it gives a strange error, especially
considering the function is not overloaded and there is only one instantiation
of the template.

template<typename T>
void foo()
{
}

int main()
{
  &foo<int>;  //error: statement cannot resolve address of overloaded function
}

This is a dup of bug 11407, which used to be suspended because the standard was not clear and a DR 
report was filed and it was found to be a real defect. 

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 11407 ***
