The reason is the same as for function

I'm not sure I know what you mean. I can see a problem with templated
methods - with non-template ones I cannot see a problem unique to
partial specialization. Maybe I'm missing something, can you sho an
example?

Besides, there's nothing wrong with compile error when ambiguity
arizes... :)
