Given these are only added to the class to allow those functions to
access the private constructor, it's a better approach to just make them
static functions in the interface, to make the dependency explicit.
This converts it into a regular constructor parameter. There's no need
to make this a template parameter on the class when it functions
perfectly well as a constructor argument.
This also reduces the amount of code bloat produced by the compiler, as
it doesn't need to generate the same code for multiple different
instantiations of the same class type, but with a different fill value.
