If the templates are monomorphized, each instantiation of a templated function will have a different address. To acquire the address of any given instantiation

What isn't clear to me why one would ever want monomorphization in the first place.

  Not ever wanting monomorphization seems like a bit of a strong claim to me. Why do you take that position?

    I was asking the question why one would ever want it.

      Right. I had interpreted you asking that question as you having taken that position and soliciting responses for a discussion. Seems that was an improper reading.
