Could you (or Doug) please summarize what you expect synopsis to do
when it encounters such code ?

Adding productions to accept the syntax is (almost) straight forward,
but doing even the least bit of semantic analysis is not.

As you may know, the old parser has some trouble with slightly 'advanced'
C++ code, which made me start to rewrite it entirely. (Looking back now,
I wonder how it managed to produce any useable results on things like
boost's libraries at all.)
While I feel I make good progress with the new parser, it definitely
isn't ready for prime time yet.

And, neither the old nor the new parser have real overload resolution or
(partial) template specialization.

So, again, the answer to your question above depends on what kind of
support you expect. May be we could break down the task into distinct
chunks (parsing, analysis, etc.), to be able to estimate the efford
and prioritize a bit.

Thanks,
