Ah, so you need the .lib files and the .di files to get it work.
You need the .di or .d files regardless if it's a template or not.
Because you need to know which declarations are available. In addition
to that, for templates the source (and not just the

None. The information is in in the source or interface file

Suppose I have a file with a simple templated function. I compile
that to a static library. I then compile another file that uses
the library into an executable. When compiled to the static
library, you don't know in advance what types it will call on the
templated function, so that must be
