- I don't think genclass can be put out to pasture just yet. From my
- own experience, g++ still has a long way to go before it can boast
- full template support. I am a heavy user of template classes, and I
- have yet to complete a major project using g++ without giving up and
- resorting to genclass.

- Sure would be nice.... I tried to do this, briefly, but grew weary of
- g++ dumping core. Eventually, I'm sure, the "gen libraries" will be
- redone as true template classes. However, I seriously doubt that is
- possible today, under g++-2.x.
