[Boost-users] Using different variables based on template type

I have a couple of functions that provide the same functionality for 
different types.  I'd like to combine them to reduce code duplication.  
An example of two functions is listed below.

std::map<std::string, uint16>   m_Uint16;
std::map<std::string, uint32>   m_Uint32;

void putUint16(std::string const& variableName, uint16 const& value) {
    m_Uint16[variableName] = value;
}

void putUint32(std::string const& variableName, uint32 const& value) {
    m_Uint32[variableName] = value;
}

The functions can't be combined into a template since they are the 
interface for the programmer.  Is there a boost library that would let 
me call a template or common function that would use a different 
variable based on the variable type?
