Dynamic dimensions

No. If you have a type like

template<int K>
class Foo {
// ...
}

then you can follow that with a definition

template<0>
class Foo {
// ...
}

which will override ("specify") the more generic template definition
with a specific one to be used whenever the template parameter is 0.

Check the syntax though, I haven't done C++ in 3 years. :)

Then the idea with template specification seems the right way...
unless we create a distinct type: KDTree and DDTree. K ist
a constant, D stands for dynamic.
