RE: [sv-ec] Mantis 1857 - extern method types for parameterized classes

While we are discussing other alternatives, why don't we consider:

function C::T C::get();

This has 'C::' twice, but it seems to be more consistent with
syntax in the rest of SV. Clearly references like 'C::T' could
only be allowed in out of body function declarations because
they would not make sense anyplace else.
