>Description:
	When instantiating a template class with a another class qualified
with :: the compiler reports a parse error. This is true both for standard
templates like vector or user defined templates.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	template<class T>
	class MyTemplate
	{
	};
	
	class X {};
	
	MyTemplate<::X> test;
	
>Fix:
	Replacing ::X with 'class ::X' allows to work around the problem.
