Understood.

It's a weird error: I don't believe that the compiler should be 
instantiating those methods at all, but <shrug>.

Partial specialisation works just fine in Visual Studio 2003 (VC7.1 and 
later).

Your right, I've just tried it out, and it leads to even stranger errors: 
the template members get instantiated with some really strange argument 
types, I've no idea what's going on there at present.
