        <pre>The following code fails to compile, however must to.

template <typename T>
struct S
{
    template <typename U>
    decltype(auto) operator[](U u);
};

template <>
template <typename U>
decltype(auto) S<int>::operator[](U u)

}

<a href="https://godbolt.org/z/MqqY5cTjx">https://godbolt.org/z/MqqY5cTjx</a>

Impicit instantiation of S<int> definition implies implicit instantiation of
the operator[] template declaration at the line
13(<a href="https://eel.is/c++draft/temp#inst-3.1">https://eel.is/c++draft/temp#inst-3.1</a>). After that a[1] shall be resolved in
favor of declaration instantiated from template at the line
13(<a href="https://eel.is/c++draft/temp#inst-10">https://eel.is/c++draft/temp#inst-10</a>), which implies implicit instantiation
of the operator[] definition(<a href="https://eel.is/c++draft/temp#inst-4">https://eel.is/c++draft/temp#inst-4</a>), which allows
compiler to deduce return
type(<a href="https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.spec.auto#general-12">https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.spec.auto#general-12</a>)</pre>
