There are, if you would like to have:

```
template<typename T>
concept tag_type = other_concept<T> && different_concept<T>;
```
There is a subtle difference when you try to order specializations
based on concepts.
If you use a class template then there is no ordering between concepts.

If we have this forward declared concepts, the question is when you
could use them?
Because case like this should be forbidden:

```
template<typename T>
concept tag_type;

template<typename T>
concept tag_type = other_concept<T> && tag_type<T>; //direct recursion
```
