Each user of the FunctionDecl might have different template arguments
(using different ways of writing the same type, for instance), so this
information isn't on the FunctionDecl. Look at the DeclRefExpr in the user
of the function; it will have the template arguments written in the call.
(FunctionDecl's getTemplateSpecializationArgsAsWritten is for explicit
specializations and the like, where the function template specialization is
explicitly written somewhere.)
