I probably have all the syntax mixed up, and maybe you need to do 
something more complicated with friend functions and everything else, 
but this is my understanding of what they were talking about in the 
paper?  Basically, the environment in which X<T> is expanded is 
different, so the xyz.xx(4) would promote 4 to a long in main1 and not 
main2.


*** A.h

void X<T>(void);

class A {
   void xx(long i) {
     cout << "Alpha!\n";
   }
}


*** X.cpp

void X<T>(void) {
   T xyz;
   xyz.xx(4);
}

*** Main1.cpp

#include <A.h>

void main1(void) {
   X<A>();
}

*** Main2.cpp

#include <A.h>

void A::xx(int i) {
   cout << "Beta!\n";
}

void main2(void) {
   X<A>();
}
