Below is what I think is an explicit template member function
specialization, *not* an explicit instantiation request.  If placed in the
template header file and compiled with MSVC the linker complains about the
symbol being duplicated in each object module.  I had to add the 'inline' to
get the linker to merge them.

My question is, have I found yet another MSVC bug, or is my syntax
incorrect?

template<>
#if _MSC_VER <= 1200
inline
#endif
size_t bitset_one<unsigned __int64>::count() const throw()
{
   return 0;    // not the real implementation
}
