You can use inheritance to get this to work :

template 
class foobase
{
public:
    void addSome    (T o) { printf ("adding that object..."); }
    void deleteSome (T o) { printf ("deleting that object..."); }
};

template 
class foo : public foobase
{ };

template 
class foo  : public foobase
{
public:
    void deleteSome (T* o) { printf ("deleting that PTR to an object..."); }
};
