My first instinct would have been to add an enum to TemplateKind, and then forward isConcept() to check if we are a template and if so, through it, if concept is specified?

Sorry for the slow reply. Yeah, I thought it was a little more straightforward having isConcept as a member function of FunctionDecl (and the bit). It also seemed that we'd be okay in terms of size since 17 bits are already being used here and adding one more wouldn't go over a byte boundary. Maybe Richard has other thoughts though?
