That is a very good point I also thought about. But because I'm not 
familiar with how exactly template instanciation works I can't really 
provide a solution for that.

Does Walters recent template instanciation optimization also take into 
account template instaces of templates that are defined outside of the 
module that contains the template definition? I think the behaviour of 
exported template should mainly satisfy the needs of this optimization.
