I always thought the only goal of the C++ standard comittee was to devise  
the most intrincate and convoluted rule ever imaginable.
It's like playing AD&D: the basic manual says something, but The Book Of  
The Perfect And Sublime Elf says that in this case this other rule  
applies, but a warrior Elf can read in The Ultimate And Most Complete  
Warrior Companion a totally different rule, but the character's alignment  
forbids all the three possibilities...
