        <pre>Explicit (extern) template declarations have no representation in the AST:

  template <typename T>
  int __ostream_insert() {
    return 0;
  }

  extern template int __ostream_insert<char>();

  template<> int __ostream_insert<long>() {
    return 1;
  }

Produces:

    TranslationUnitDecl 0x3763300 <<invalid sloc>> <invalid sloc>
    |-TypedefDecl 0x3763840 <<invalid sloc>> <invalid sloc> implicit __int128_t

          `-IntegerLiteral 0x37a5340 <col:12> 'int' 1

It appears as a child of the FunctionTemplateDecl:

    | |-FunctionDecl 0x37a4f60 <line:2:3, line:4:3> line:2:7 __ostream_insert
'int (void)'
    | | `-TemplateArgument type 'char'

But the source location is incorrect (points to the parent template, not the
extern instantiation.</pre>
