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.)
