<pre>
The following C++ code compiles successfully in Clang (trunk):
```cpp
template<typename>
struct X;
template<>
struct ::X<int> {};
```
I am unsure what the C++ standard has to say about this, but gcc fails with the error `global qualification of class name is invalid before '{' token`. If this is incorrect usage, there should at least be a compiler warning.
