The compiler is more than happy to instantiate the second one... the problem is that it is converting my 
one template parameter explicit specialization into the two template parameter form, presumably 
because the function signature matches.  I would expect that if I explicitly state the one parameter 
form, the compiler should instantiate the one parameter form.
