I have a proposal for the todo list.
The Solaris, IRIX, and probably other compilers do not have a need for
the '#pragma implementation' and '#pragma interface' directives for
their instantiation of templates. The implimentations vary but IRIX,
for example, keeps database in the working directory containing the
locations of templates it encountered during compilation. After
compiling the objects but before creating an archive or executable, it
runs a prelinker 'edg_prelink' on all the object files. The prelinker
searches for unresolved references to templates and compiles them into
additional object files which get linked or added to the archive. This
guanantees that there are no duplicate instantiaions.
A solution like this would allow for external templates while avoiding
the proprietary gcc #pragmas.

Bad idea, already been done. See -frepo, and the new link.once magic
of GNU ld.
