I thought about it but can't agree.

- what is the sense of having a template for defining the variable when an 
explicit specialization is always needed?

- how do I get all the hundreds of variables and their names from classes deep 
in a complex class hierachy I inherited from foreign sources, e.g. from GNU, 
explicitly defined when my_class is also a template? You won't like to impose 
such a permanent and silly job on me or my customers, don't you?

>> ... if you do not have weak symbols
I also don't see how weak symbols may solve the problem.

Cheers, R.B.
