[...] I'm curious why the pointer parameters are of type T* and not T const *.

Because that would not allow comparisons between types that are not T const*. Take T == int. With T*, you can compare int*. With T == int const, you get int const*. If you use T const* instead, you won't ever be able to compare int*. Dave --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
