Title:
  -Werror=template-id-cdtor error is emitted with C++ standard less than
  20

Status in gcc-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When compiling with C++11 standard I got an error `-Werror=template-id-cdtor` which is meant to be emitted with >= C++20 standard (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/C_002b_002b-Dialect-Options.html#index-Wtemplate-id-cdtor):

  Bug is in gcc 15.2.1 too (checked on last Fedora).

  Bug is reproducible.
  Minimum code example:
  ```
  template <typename T>
  class Example {
      Example<T>() {};
  };

  int main() {
      return 0;
  }
  ```
  Compile with -Wall -Werror. C++ standard can be either not selected or selected below than 20 (with >= C++20 error is legit).
