It might help if you elaborate a bit more on what exactly you're trying
to achieve here.  Why can't you just pass the value of the field to the
function as a runtime parameter, for example, which would be the usual
way of doing it?  Is there something specific you're trying to achieve
here that requires using a template parameter?
