Subject: [Boost-users] Using different variables based on template type

I have a couple of functions that provide the same functionality for
different types. I'd like to combine them to reduce code duplication.
An example of two functions is listed below.
std::map<std::string, uint16> m_Uint16;
std::map<std::string, uint32> m_Uint32;
void putUint16(std::string const& variableName, uint16 const& value) {
m_Uint16[variableName] = value;
}
void putUint32(std::string const& variableName, uint32 const& value) {
m_Uint32[variableName] = value;
}
The functions can't be combined into a template since they are the
interface for the programmer. Is there a boost library that would let
me call a template or common function that would use a different
variable based on the variable type?
