I have gotten this to work before. But it's quirky, what you have to do is
include the header file and C++ file in the include statement of the file
where you plan to use the template. For example, you define a template.h
and a template.cpp, in order to use the template and not get errors I had
to:
#include "template.h"
#include "template.cpp"
.....
This resolved the issue, however it must be included anywhere that you use a
template. Be careful about globals though.
