function_template.hpp:

- function partial specialization now allows assignment to zero
    (for clearing) and comparison against zero (for the empty check)
    (Brad King)

function_test.cpp:
  - Check comparison against zero
  - Check assignment to zero

function_test_fail1.cpp:
function_test_fail2.cpp:
  - Make them fail for the right reasons
