Ok, thank you both for resolving this so swiftly. I'll be sending the ISIP
authors a patch moving the specializations to inline. I hope google will be
picking up on this conversation as this is a major change of behaviour for
g++ between 3.2 and higher, which is only sparsely documented - even if it
was a misfeature before.
This behavior makes infinitely more sense.
