If nothing else, it doesn't work for classes, because templated functions
can't be virtual. Also, it forces you to put the entire function's
implementation in a .di file if you use .di files, which makes it untentable
for
many of the folks who actually need to use .di files.
We need a solution which doesn't involve templates.
