Yes, I looked at that proposed implementation. Unfortunately, the major
deficiency of it IMHO was that it was sacrificing implementation hiding
(the main pimpl property) for the sake of generalization. I think I cover
that in the docs at http://www.ddj.com/cpp/205918714.

I hope I cover that at http://www.ddj.com/cpp/205918714
