    With the new parser (on mainline) we get this error:

>Description:
	Instead of reporting that partial template specializatins are not
        allowed for member function templates, gcc outputs an unclear message:

template_test.cpp:5: sorry, not implemented: `component_ref' not supported by
        dump_decl
template_test.cpp:5: partial specialization `<declaration error><Q, Policy>' of 
        function template
              
>How-To-Repeat:

struct Policy {};
    
struct B {
    template<class Q, class W> int getval();
    template<class Q> int getval<Q, Policy>();
};

>Fix:
	fix dump_decl :)
