Variable template type

Question

Just want to confirm that type of templated variable can be independent of template. This compiles by g++:

template 
constexpr long MAX_AS_LONG = static_cast(std::numeric_limits::max());

Does it confirm to the standard?

(In all the examples on the internet, type of templated variable is T itself).

There is no requirement the type of a template variable differs based on template arguments.

A common example is std::is_same_v which is always a bool.
