Yes, an omission that's a consequence of dealing with several
coding conventions.

We can address this issue by requiring all function definitions
to appear outside the class definition.  The code is more verbose,
but livable.

For template classes, the specification of an out-of-line member
function is going to be long, so a single-line specification is
likely to overflow often.  Whatever we chose, it should be reasonably
extended to multiple lines.
