As a note for this discussion, when you export stuff via DI gen, it  
includes templates. In the cases of classes it wraps the class inside the  
template. My patches don't effect this template code, they work on  
members. The only potential issue I can see is that my patch would execute  
after a function level template and leave the template hanging without the  
corresponding function.

Does anyone have some test code that I can run to verify this behavior?
