Re: Allowing duplicate template specialisations

I wish it were just a theoretical issue to do with the spec but I actually
get a compiler error:

remote.cpp(94) : error C2766: explicit specialization;
'comet::comtype<IObjectWithSite>' has already been defined
object_with_site.hpp(41) : see previous definition of
'comtype<IObjectWithSite>'

The specialisations both look like this (i.e. they're identical):

template<> struct ::comet::comtype<::IObjectWithSite>
{
    static const ::IID& uuid() throw() { return ::IID_IObjectWithSite; }
    typedef ::IUnknown base;
};

with the original template like so:

template<typename T> struct comet::comtype
{
    static const IID& uuid() throw()
    { return comtype<typename T::interface_is>::uuid(); }

    typedef typename comtype<typename T::interface_is>::base base;
};

I understand that in the same compilation unit, the compiler has received
two separate definition but they're identical; can it not just choose one?
