A "virtual template member function".  It looks like another virtual table
will have to be gradually constructed at compile time, just like what I did
last year with ptr<T, complex_tree>:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/ptr/ptr.hpp.old.  The table could
return the address of the template member function given some class X and
template parameter Y.
