Synopsis: Non-type template instantiation fails for pointer types

State-Changed-Why:
    not a bug. Like the error says, you are attempting to
    instantiate a template on a non-externally visible object
    (the thing pointer to *by* strPointer). The array case
    works becuase of array->pointer decay - the thing pointed
    to is the first array element, and that does have external
    linkage. May be you mean to write
    	template <char const *&r> class Foo {};
    which would be acceptable for the first case, as then you're
    binding to the pointer variable.
