It certainly is enough to require, but isn't enough to magically make a
definition to appear. Either you provide the definition in the header,
and let the compiler do that magic of instantiating the template
on-demand, or you defer to a separate compilation unit, but then can't
rely on such magic and need to explicitly instantiate.

I haven't seen your specific code, but your description sounds like all
is working as expected.
