The binding author can also opt to just translate them to
template functions (possibly taking no template parameter). This
way, the bodies are emitted into every translation unit which
uses them, removing the need to link against the Deimos
"headers". The libevent and OpenSSL bindings, which I
contributed, use this approach.
