perhaps it did not seem to be a good idea, perhaps no one thought of it,
perhaps we thought programmer should have to learn to use their
development environments :)

Hi,

can anyone explain to me why

  template<class T> {
     void func1(T) { ... }
     void func2(T) { ... }
     void func3(T) { ... }
     ...
  }

isn't allowed in Standard C++? If I have to declare more than one thing
extern "C", I can do this by "grouping" them with { } and write extern "C"
just once; so why does it not work for templates?

It looks like I have to repeat template<class T> over and over.

Is there a reason for this or is this an oversight in the standard?

Bernd
