Description

Problem description

Was playing in godbolt and got this to work, but I can't imagine why you'd ever want to do this.

C++ code that can't be parsed correctly (please double-check that https://robotpy.github.io/cxxheaderparser/ has the same error)
template <typename T>
class C;


template <typename T>
class C {
public:
    enum class E;
};

template <typename T>
enum class C<T>::E { A };

Research direction

Reproduce the C++ example from the issue in cxxheaderparser and compare its result with the behavior at the linked project site. Trace how the parser handles the forward-declared enum inside the templated class and its later definition; done means this example parses correctly with a regression check for the reported case.
