Not necessarily. If you have two units that don't know about each other
that specialize the function with the same enum then you'd have two
specializations already.

This would need either a WPO pass or COMDAT support. Both are on my ToDo
list, especially as the former is needed if the output format does not
support the idea of COMDATs (e.g. PE/COFF and ELF do).
