Apparently MSVC allows any expression which looks like an unqualified
template-id in a default template argument, even with "/permissive-" set.
Being in a class doesn't even matter. If the default template argument is
never used, the identifier assumed to be a template-name doesn't even need
to appear anywhere else in the program. So it accepts things like:

template <class = A<void>::type, int = B<1>.M> void f();

This isn't exactly "weird bugs of compilers", though - MSVC is the only
compiler with this issue.
