  27. As you wish:  http://uptown.turnpike.net/~scorf/cplusext.html
  28.  
  29. Note that templates and exceptions have each bred several 
  30. refinements, resulting in a language far, far more powerful 
  31. than that described in the ARM.  (Member templates, partial
  32. specialization, and function template overloading are the
  33. key refinements.)

  40. Most of the interesting features haven't yet been implemented 
  41. in commercially available compilers.  Still, a checklist sounds 
  42. like a good idea for somebody's web page.
