[dcl.decl] Change "templated function" to instead use "templated entity" #3538
Conversation

The intent when introducing the term "templated entity" was that we could then use it to talk about "templated functions", "templated variables", and so on. We should define those terms rather than removing uses of them. |

Perhaps we add this below the definition of templated entity:

Yes, perhaps. Another option to consider is to define only the adjective "templated", not the noun phrase "templated entity". ("An entity is templated if it is [...]") |

Editorial meeting: Go with "An entity is templated if it is..." |

@jensmaurer is a template or is templated? |

Whoops, looks like deleting commits closes the PR. Changes applied. |
The resolution for CA378 used the term "templated function", but it is unclear what exactly this means (the intent is known, so I believe this is sufficiently editorial). This should be changed to "templated entity that is a function or function template" as is used in [dcl.dcl].
I didn't change the comment in the example to use this wording since it seems to be a little "extra" for a comment, but that can be changed too if deemed sufficiently important.
