If we must quibble, then I'm pretty sure English would prefer
"specialisation" ;-/.

More seriously, the terminology used in the C++ community seems to be
  "function template partial specialization".

google should give some hits.  I got 2 hits for Zack's suggestion
(including Giovanni's title) and lots for the version I proposed.

I still maintain "function template partial specialization", because
it is consistent with the rest of the terminology.
