if instantiated template was not used in any code that makes into 
compiled binary, compiler is free to remove it with all it's ctors. it 
may do that, or may not, but removal is allowed. so while that can work 
now (i didn't checked), it may stop working in next version (or with 
another compiler), and that will not be a bug.
