I have accidentally inserted the bang in the template decl so many times..
There's no grammatical reason to leave it out

A trivial thing, but something I've been wondering about for awhile:
Function parameter syntax:
Declare: foo(bar)
Call: foo(bar)
Template parameter syntax in C++/C#/etc:
Declare: foo<bar>
Instantiate: foo<bar>
Template parameter syntax in D:
Declare: foo(bar)
Instantiate: foo!(bar)
Why the difference in syntax between declaring and instantiating? Why not
use the exclamation for declaration too? Would that create a grammar
ambiguity? Some other reason? No particular reason?
Obviously it's not a big issue, just curious.
