Topic: generating unique template instantiations

When template classes are instantiated with the same arguments, the
resulting instances are compatible. I was wondering whether there
is some way of forcing different instantiations of a template
class to generate different types.
The best I can come up with is a pre-processor macro that looks
something like:
template <int *unique>
class Int { ... }
#define DEFINE_Int(N) \
static int name2(N,_unique_); \
typedef Int<&name2(N,_unique_)> N;
DEFINE_Int(an_int);
DEFINE_Int(another_int);
Is there a better way?
Thanks,
Thomas.
