Unfortunately this is a case that I've never been able to solve in the
gccxml dump implementation.  It works for members of class templates,
and for member templates of non-template classes.  It does not work for
member templates within class templates.  I have simply been unable to
discover the incantation inside GCC's source code to get a reference to
such instantiations.  The class template instantiation lists the member
template, but the member template does not list its instantiations.

If you want to try to fix it, I can get you started.
