I'm not sure I understand you rightly, but I always thought that it was impossible for a library to provide Matrix<Foo> unless the author of the library already knew about the Foo type. If Foo is a type specific to your application, it's not going to be something your matrix library knows about. Is that no longer the case with today's C++ toolchains?

No, you can't instantiate Matrix<Foo> without knowing about type Foo. I'm just saying that there are a lot of templates out there that aren't inlined.
My biggest point, if I have one, is that mixing the inlined and non-inlined stuff is what creates the versioning problems.
