Q: Can A<S> and A<S, T> coexist?

I.e., is the following declaration valid?

template<class S> class A{};
template<class S, class T> class A{};

AT&T C++ V3.0 fails on comipling the above code.

As I see it, since the two A's are accepting different number of arguments,
there is no reason why such thing should not be allowed.

Any comments?



--------------------------------------------------------------
   A template version of my signature class is under repair.
Symptom: It dies without a warning if I use certain class
         as an argument.

You're trying to overload a class name; can't do that.
