Yes that would be possible. The diagnostic would change for the following code:

```
template <typename>
struct Foo {};

Foo();// -> Foo<int>; 
// currently: deduction guide missing ->
// after: C++ requires type specifier for every declaration
```

Is that acceptable? Or I guess I could restrict this to partial deduction guides in classes.
