templated specializations get emitted in 3.3?

[Benjamin Kosnik]

I don't think this is a bug. 

What you are doing is providing a definition of a non-inlined member
specialization in a header file: this is just like putting a definition
of a non-inlined class member function in a header. 

Behavior of this has definitely changed, but the current behavior seem
defensible. Note if you add "inline" you'll have consistent behavior.

  int print() { return 0; }
