Subject: Syntax correction for template deferred args
Date: 2026-May-26

References: 25-158r1, 25-204r3, 26-007r1

Introduction:
-------------

Paper 25-158r1 changed the bracketing of deferred and instantiation
arguments from "(...)" to "{...}".  However, some cases were missed
when producing paper 25-15r1, and subsequently survived into 26-007r1.
This paper corrects that oversight.

Note that there are a few other occurrences that are fixed in papers
tied to specific UTIs.

Edits:
------

[398:13] (16.1.1 Syntax for the TEMPLATE construct) use curly braces
such that the line now reads:

  "R1602 template-stmt is TEMPLATE template-name
         { [ deferred-arg-name-list ] }"

[399:26] (16.2 Templated subprograms) Replace parens with curly braces
such that the line now reads:

  "R1611 templated-function-stmt is prefix FUNCTION template-name
         { deferred-arg-name-list }"

[399:28] (16.2 Templated subprograms) Delete extraneous "<" and
replace parens with curly braces such that the line now reads:

  "R1612 templated-subroutine-stmt is prefix SUBROUTINE template-name
         { deferred-arg-name-list }"
