and

(other than syntax, of course)?

The former is specialisation, the latter is a definition.

The former is specialization of A _and_ a definition of A::foo,
specializezed for double and int, the later is a definition of A::foo
specialized for double and int (and implicit specialization of A), yes.
Yet the effect of both is exactly the same...
