type check
Product: gcc

```
template<typename T>
constexpr int vt = 42;
template int vt<int>;
```
is accepted but all the other compilers reject this:
error: type 'int' of explicit instantiation of 'vt' does not match expected
type 'const int'
4 | template int vt<int>;
| ^
Even this is accepted:
```
template<typename T>
constexpr int vt = 42;
template float vt<int>;
```
