G++ accepts that a template class is explicitly instantiated as a
template struct and vice versa.

Example:

template <class T>
struct S { // ... };

template <class T>
class C { // ... };

template class S<int>;
template struct C<double>;

The types S<int> and C<double> have now been explicitly instantiated.

According to the standard, are the two explicit instantiations legal?
