Thanks for checking. I'll attempt to the make the patch do something
intelligent on at least the original testcase and this:
> template<typename T> struct S1 { typedef char type; };
>
> template<typename T>
> typename S1<T>::type
> foo(typename S1<T>::typo)
> { return t; }
>
> char c = foo<int>(1);
>
> Here the return type is valid, but the parameter is not ("typo" vs "type").
> Ideally the diagnostic would indicate that, which would help when the template
> arguments are substituted in more than one place.
Thanks for the additional testcases!

"substitution failed" will probably be the default message if we can't
provided anything more intelligent.
