Compilation error when no required arg in template class #102

Hi boost developers.
I have some compilation trouble when I want to use a BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION with no required argument in a template class. There is no issue for non template class or if I add one require arg.
This code can reproduce my issue (tested with several version of boost 1.65,1.69,1.70,1.71,1.72)

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/parameter.hpp>

BOOST_PARAMETER_NAME(arg1)

template <typename T>
struct somebody
{
  BOOST_PARAMETER_MEMBER_FUNCTION(
                                  (void), static f, tag, (optional (arg1,(int),0))
                                  )
  {
    std::cout << arg1 << std::endl;
  }
};

#include <boost/core/lightweight_test.hpp>

int main()
{
  somebody<double>::f();
  somebody<double>::f(4);
  return boost::report_errors();
}

The error obtained with clang++ :

error: template argument for template type parameter must be a type; did you forget 'typename'?

The error obtained with g++ :

In file included from /usr/include/boost/parameter.hpp:18,
                 from test_boostparameter.cpp:2:
