How can I define a member template outside the definition of the class?
For example, consider this declaration for auto_ptr (from the latest
DWP):

    template<class X> class auto_ptr {
    public:
      template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y>&);
      ...
    };
  }

If I want to implement this function inside the class template, that's
easy,

    template<class X> class auto_ptr {
    public:
      template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y>&) { /* impl goes here */ }
      ...
    };
  }

but what if I want to put it outside the class definition?  Then what
do I say?  The only thing I can think of is this:

  template<class X>
    template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y>&) { /* impl goes here */ }

Is this the right way to do it?
