Description Nathan Ridge CLA 2015-11-25 16:08:19 EST 
None of CDT's current navigation mechanisms allow you to navigate to the forward declaration of a class template from its definition or a use.

Default arguments for template parameters are often specified only at the forward declaration, so it's useful to be able to navigate to it.

It looks like not navigating from a class definition to a class forward declaration, was a deliberate choice.

However, for class template it's useful (due to default arguments, as mentioned), so I believe we should allow it.
