I'm curious - what would it be used for?

We put out special names tell the Comeau template instantiation mechanism what to do.  W/o seeing the names, it assumes no template instantiation is necessary.

Ok. It helps to know what the problem is, so the solution will be the right one!

Name encoding details aside, we output something like this:

char vector_int_can_be_instantiated;

We then look for these, and determine which object files will
"own" that instantiation, since many may request it.
This analysis is done program-wide, and then the instantiations
are distributed.

But we can't seem to get the id name.  If used as above,
the utility won't output it.  If we = 0 it, then I recall it
will get output, however, if it's in multiple source files,
then a duplicate definition occurs.  If we extern it,
I recall we can also see it, but then an unrevolved reference
error occurs.
