If I read the replies correctly, it is a compiler limitation in that the compiler doesn't do multiple passes for template instantiation. People suggested all sorts of workarounds - all of which seemed to involve some source creation/modification. Being a lazy programmer (but good s/w engineer :-) I'm hoping that someone is already buzily working on fixing this deficiency. Could someone tell me if there is something in the works? Or at least dash my hopes? Yes, between April and June we hope to be able to say that template support has been drastically improved (along with some other things, like exception handling and proper overloading resolution).
