That's the kind of thinking that makes the C++ standard unreadable to most.

I just downloaded the latest draft and took a look for the first time since trying to make some sense of it back around '95--which probably means I've looked at it two times more than your average C++ programmer.

And wow; the intervening 15 years haven't exactly clarified things have they.

    I've written 200 pages (standard letter size, small type) explaining and elaborating on it. The Guru's Handbook.

      There are many "The Guru's Handbook"s out there, for everything from philosophy & religion to advice for budding (or maybe buddist, I only scanned it), teachers. Which is weird really as you'd think gurus would be the one writing the handbooks, not reading them!

      Anyway, this one is obviously yours, but the linked copy only has 88 of the pages complete. Is there a later version somewhere?
