Any symbol which can be resolved at compile-time, such as, for example, 
a function, can be passed as a template argument. The grammar doesn't 
define what "Symbol" is, specifically, but it might not be incorrect to 
think of it as the same as "Identifier".

Well, it should be define somewhere.
This is part of the language definition spec !
