Rationale (April, 2013):
CWG felt that this suggested use of alias templates should be considered in a broader context and thus was more appropriate for EWG.
EWG 2022-11-11
extern "C" on a template should be allowed, and should affect only calling convention, but not mangling. This is tracked in github issue cplusplus/papers#1373.
Additional note, April, 2013:
It was suggested that relaxing this restriction for alias templates could provide a way of addressing the long-standing lack of a way of specifying a language linkage for a dependent function type (see issue 13).
Currently 13.1 [temp.pre] paragraph 6 forbids any template from having C linkage. Should alias templates be exempt from this prohibition, since they do not have any linkage?
