How to define a method with a generic parameter

[Russco]

Templated functions cannot have default type arguments, however it is easily worked around by making your function a static member of a templated empty class which can have default type arguments.

template < typename T = int >
   struct FuncHolder
   {
      static void TestEmpty( T obj )
      {
         // .....
      }
   };

At least i think thats what you meant.
