Don't you think it's time we generalized the hack into a nice macro that generates the right code?
I think so. In addition to prefix and postfix unary operators, there should be a binary version, too, right?
I have been toying with a more general solution to this problem, where one can do things like:
check_dereference<T, is_convertible<mpl::_, U&> > check_add<T, T, is_convertible<mpl::_, T> >
etc. I haven't used it anywhere yet, so I can't say if it's useful in practice, but at least it was fun implementing. ;)
I know the feeling. ;-) What I'd really like to be able to do is test assignability. Jonathan
