The paragraph in the spec certainly explains why PCL may choose to issue
this warning. I can see the rationale for considering a specialized
parameter to not be "IGNORED". [But the treatment of a specializer of T
as distinct from having no specializer seems specious to me, and a source
of trouble -- or at least a nuisance -- for automatic programming/
transformation systems.]
