Just wanted to let you know the latest update to CUJ's Experts Forum (http://www.cuj.com/) has a couple of updates on my "Flexible C++" column.

The first, #5, "Friendly Templates" is actually in error, since it's contents have not changed. As such, you're best not reading it if you read the original. (Of course, if you didn't read the original, then hop to it.)

The second, #6, "Flexible Implementations Without Using Directives", describes a way in which an accomodation can be reached between the powerful but blundersome using directives, and the restrained but tiresome using declarations. It mentions a few STLSoft classes as well. ;)

Cheers

"blundersome"? I like that. I'm going to figure out a way to use it <g>.

Hmm, 102 google hits on it.
