I think requiring this_ is fine. I was a bit worried about the possibility of silent failure when people forget (quite likely to happen during refactoring) but luckily there are very few circumstances I can thing of where it wouldn't give a compile error when you accidentally use this (the two that spring to mind are printing out the value, and reinterpret_casting it). Still, if there were a way to make it impossible to use 'this' at all, that would be nice to avoid this risk (but I doubt you can). John Bytheway
