You need to add an explicit 'inline' specifier to any function defined out
of class but in a header, regardless if it's a templatized function or not.
This instructs the compiler to treat this function to be visible inside the
current translation unit only (even if the compiler decides not to inline
the function), avoiding multiple symbol definitions if the header is
included from more than one translation unit.
