[Bug c++/41423] New: missing warning for an uncallable function template

There is no way for a program to refer to the template constructor defined
in the class below.  EDG eccp issues a warning to point this out, but gcc
silently accepts the code.  It would be helpful if gcc were enhanced to
issue a similar diagnostic.

$ cat t.cpp && gcc -dumpversion && gcc -W -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -c t.cpp &&
eccp -c -v t.cpp
struct S { template <class> S () { } };

"t.cpp", line 1: warning: template parameter "<unnamed>" is not used in
          declaring the parameter types of function template "S::S"
  struct S { template <class> S () { } };
                            ^
