Added Note: When we contacted Dr. Meyers to ask permission to + print this stuff, it prompted him to run this code through current + compilers to see what the state of the art is with respect to member + template functions. He posted + an + article to Usenet after discovering that the code above is not + valid! Even though it has no data members, it still needs a + user-defined constructor (which means that the class needs a type name + after all). The ctor can have an empty body; it just needs to be + there. (Stupid requirement? We think so too, and this will probably + be changed in the language itself.) +
