+Summary: ConditionalAttribute has no effect on template methods
+
+Description of Problem:
+ConditionalAttribute has no effect on template methods
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Run the code below.
+
+Actual Results:
+Program prints:
+or this
+but should see this
+
+Expected Results:
+Should not print the "or this" line.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+Note that for the DEBUG define at least, you can often work around the
+problem by defining non-template methods if !DEBUG.
