The LRM is pretty clear that references to the parameterized class name
cause a default specialization.  The only circumstances where this isn't
the case is the syntax that I still owe for class_name::function (or
task) and the class_name::method_name syntax for extern methods.

So both "C myv" and "C#() myv" would be legal and would have identical
semantics.
