The construct "inline template" for explicit template instantiation is
not accepted by icc.  I have code like this:

#if defined (__GNUC__) && !defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)
#define INLINE_TEMPLATE inline template
#else
#define INLINE_TEMPLATE template
#endif
INLINE_TEMPLATE class ObI::Impl<Array<int> >;
