The reason is explained in this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c++.moderated/browse_frm/thread/c04...
I don't see anything in that thread that talks about why member templates can't be specialized in-class. I don't see a good reason for that limitation; how is a class member specialization different from one in a namespace other than that there can be template parameters on the class itself?
-- Jeremiah Willcock OOPS, you're right. The situation was just so similar ( specialization of nested template class within an outer template class) that I thought the reason given would apply, but I guess not.
Thanks for pointing out my error. -regards, Larry
