Re: overloaded templated ostream-operator: gcc can't find the right one.

[Johan Myhre Andersen <jma at cpk dot auc dot dk>]

Sorry to bug you before.
Here comes the right bug-report. I had changed the example before to
make it work. Here is the original .cc which cause the problem.
When pair in main is not const, it does not work. gcc fails to find
operator<< defined for const pair. Instead it tries to use operator<<
that I definded for template T, which is supposed to be a container.
