Description

Right now, perhaps the best approach to this is to check the instantiated type's name and namespace in hopes that nothing else happens to have that combo. A more reliable check would be welcome. A reference on the instantiated type to its template type is probably an easy win, but we would also need an easy way to get a reference to the uninstantiated template type since `resolveTypeReference` won't allow you to reference uninstantiated templates.
