Mengapa Pengkhususan Separa Templat Fungsi Dilarang dalam C?

template<typename T, typename U> void f() {}   //allowed!
template<> void f<int, char>()            {}   //allowed!
template<typename T> void f<char, T>()    {}   //not allowed!
template<typename T> void f<T, int>()     {}   //not allowed!

void say( char const s[] ) { std::cout << s << std::endl; }

namespace detail {
    template< class T, class U >
    struct F {
        static void impl() { say( "1. primary template" ); }
    };

    template<>
    struct F<int, char> {
        static void impl() { say( "2. <int, char> explicit specialization" ); }
    };

    template< class T >
    struct F< char, T > {
        static void impl() { say( "3. <char, T> partial specialization" ); }
    };

    template< class T >
    struct F< T, int > {
        static void impl() { say( "4. <T, int> partial specialization" ); }

void f() { detail::F<T, U>::impl(); }
