I'm not sure it's true. Consider:
template<class T>
T foo();
template<class T>
void bar();
The value of template parameter is indeed the part of signature.
The return value does not seem to be, since it directly depends
on template parameter, so:
foo<int>()
quite uniquely specify the type of return value.
