Default arguments in C++ are completely different from default
arguments in Cython, this is our bug for not catching that. You have
to declare this as an overloaded method
cdef extern from "foo.h":
cdef cppclass foo[ T ]:
bar()
bar(int)
Btw, unless it returns an object, you probably want to declare the
return type of your methods. Perhaps we should make this a warning for
extern declarations?
