Hi everyone, I do know if this was an expected feature (restriction) of the
standard, but
1) You can declare a class with a template constructor that can take a
non-type template parameter.
2) You cannot instantiate it.

Ie

struct foo {
  template <bool in>
  foo () { }
};

int main ()
{
  foo b1; // no default constructor (and no workaround)
  return 0;
}
