Is it allowed to overload template names based on their parameters
in the same way that functions can be overloaded?

I tried to create two versions of the same class name as such:

template <class C>
class A {
	[...]
};

template <class C1, class C2>
class A {
	[...]
};


Gcc 2.7.2 gives errors about redefinition even though, as far as I can
tell, these names are distinct.

test.cc:8: declaration of template `template <class C1, class C2> class A'
test.cc:2: conflicts with previous declaration `template <class C> class A'

In the end, I had to create two classes: A1 and A2.

Is this a problem with GCC or does the standard not allow it?
