        Yes, they do (not for classes of course, and partial specialisations
for function doesn't exist, so you are correct if you are refering to
the
current Standard: you are right 'in vacuo' :-)

        You only need to add an extra parameter
which is not specialised to your above code to get an example:

        template <class T, class U> int f(T,int,U);
        template <class T, class U> int f(int, T, U);
        template<class U> int f<int,U> f(int,int,U);

That's exactly the same problem with the same example, just adding
an extra non-specialised parameter U.
