The Standard prohibits the use of names with no linkage or names with
internal linkage as template arguments. Only objects with external
linkage are allowed. Hence you can't use a function declared 'static'
or a local type as a predicate in 'std::sort', for instance, or as the
functor in 'std::for_each', and so on.
