Original description

I found an error using the last revision of Arduino IDE (0022).
This code doesn't compile correctly:

template <class T> int SRAM_writeAnything(int ee, const T& value)
{
    const byte* p = (const byte*)(const void*)&value;
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < sizeof(value); i++)
      EEPROM.write(ee++, *p++);
    return i;
}


template <class T> int SRAM_readAnything(int ee, T& value)
{
    byte* p = (byte*)(void*)&value;
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < sizeof(value); i++)
      *p++ = EEPROM.read(ee++);
    return i;
}

The IDE returns this error:
error: expected ',' or '...' before '&' token
error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'T' with no type
error: 'T' has not been declared

Using version 0021 it works fine.
