Just a thought, but depending on what the general template is doing,
it might be that you can turn around the processing, so that instead
of calling the general template with a parameter specifying the mode,
you apply templates in the specific mode and those templates call the
general template as appropriate to perform the necessary calculations.

Cheers,
