//What should multiobj be? multiobj is ignored by gdc, but just for consistency reasons, just go with false. Also, do you find that templates must go after *all* functions have been processed, or is it fine if you just add them to toSymbol()->deferredNestedFuncs for the function they are associated with to be processed immediately afterwards.
