That seems like a defect in interpretation or in the standard in that case.
"f" is not dependent but f(<args that use T>) is.
Given that there is no context (at least when known to be used as a
callable) in which "f" by itself is a sensible identifier (if you try to
take a pointer to it, in the presence of overloads you have to
explicitly supply the intended argument types anyway), this just seems
like it's trying to make life difficult for the programmer for no good
reason.
Again though I assume I'm missing something.
