Nope, still have no good idea of my own. My first 2 impulses were the best
shot I had, but they didn't work.

Forwarding to an Impl template doesn't really address my problem. I still
end out with bucket loads of instantiations, and double-call performance
will really suffer in debug builds, which might be okay if these were big
functions, but they're many trivial functions, so the cost is very high.

I'm getting the distinct feeling that what I want is not actually possible.
Which I have to say, is rather surprising.
