There's no way you can hide the implementation of a function from the user if it 
is available to the compiler.

Quite a few people thought C++ "exported templates" would make this work, but 
there is no known way to implement it and keep it hidden from the user, not even 
if it is encrypted since the compiler must decrypt it.
