34. Argument dependent lookup and points of instantiation

Section: 13.9.2  [temp.inst]     Status: NAD     Submitter: Daveed Vandevoorde     Date: 15 Jul 1998

Does Koenig lookup create a point of instantiation for class types? I.e., if I say:

    TT<int> *p;
    f(p);
The namespaces and classes associated with p are those associated with the type pointed to, i.e., TT<int>. However, to determine those I need to know TT<int> bases and its friends, which requires instantiation.

Or should this be special cased for templates?

Rationale: The standard already specifies that this creates a point of instantiation.
