Exposing certain instantiations of a templated function

[Bogdan]

I have the following templated function:

template<class T>
My_Class<T> my_function(T in)
{
My_Class<T> obj;
//...
return obj;
}

I would like to expose through the header only certain instantiations
of this templated function instead of the full templated function
signature. Note that this function has also a return parameter which
depends on the template type. Is there a way to achieve this ?

Expose normal function overloads in interface.
Implement them by calling that (unexposed) template.
