This actually makes it possible to properly implement remove_xxx for VC6.5 and VC7.0 without any form of registration :)
Whoa. That is *major*... at least for those hopefully-soon-to-be-obsolete compilers it is. Awesome! Is this a full replacement for partial specialization?
This implementtion doesn't use any template specialzation.
I know that. I just asked if the mechanism _replaces_ partial specialization. Of course it doesn't do that fully, since partial specialization can be used non-intrusively.
When developing typeof-support for VC6, I also implemented remove_xxx based on typeof, so, yes. The new implementation of remove_xxx + typeof is a full replacement for partial specialization. Regards Peder
