 Yes. Note your syntax error though:

template<class T, class U = SimpleType> class LessSimpleType {...};

What is the current state of the standard regarding default values for template
arguments?  Specifically, will it be possible to specify a class name as a
default value for a template argument (along following lines)?

class SimpleType {...};

template<class T, class U = SimpleType> LessSimpleType {...};

Thanks,
Bob
