[PARSE BUG]: Explicit instantiations of function templates cannot be parsed

[asteever]

Function templates can be explicitly instantiated (including those with inferred template parameters), but cxxheaderparser will not have it.

Per https://github.com/robotpy/cxxheaderparser/blob/544c253a77d0f706418ee61b986c2b246d4eaf1f/cxxheaderparser/parser.py#L738 all instantiations must be class or struct, and the TemplateInst type seems to assume this also.

Please post an example of the code that can't be parsed in this issue, thanks!

[asteever]

https://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/15000b7567cd61ca is the example

#include <iostream>

template <typename T> T tFunction(T val);

template <typename T> T tFunction(T val) {
    return val;
}

template bool tFunction(bool val);

[virtuald]

Specifically, template bool tFunction(bool val); doesn't work in cxxheaderparser, but godbolt seems to accept it.

That's a weird declaration.
