The linker chokes on combined size of symbol names, btw (this relates to
your point as templated symbols tend to have long mangled names).
So _not_ using external symbols seems to be worth a try, too.
Of course that'd mean 'static func()' instead of 'namespace { func() }'
and that seems to be close blasphemy in this world as well...
Usually I find template rather worth the trouble. Of course there are
exceptions. Using a shared instead of a bald pointer as return value
of InsetBase::clone() is pretty superfluous IMNSHO.
