You're allowed to *partially* specialize a nested class template within
the outer class. But full specialization of a nested class template must
be done outside the outer class. I don't know the reason for this, and I
don't have a reference, sorry. It's one of those bits of C++ arcana that
I have squirreled away in my brain. Wish I could get those brain cells back.
