I wish I knew what a nondeduced context was. ;)  Could you give
me a quick overview?  Also, do you see this as a situation that a
typical user would encounter often, or something that would be
more of an issue for library writers?  Finally, do you have any
suggestions that would help simplify a fat policy list (short of
typedef templates, of course)?
