I sometimes don't pimpl an entire object. This might be because I have templates in the interface or because I need the functions to inline. Your solution doesn't allow me to do that.

One possibility is to use inheritance in the cpp file:

header:

struct foo { int critical_; };

cpp:

namespace { struct foo_: foo { int not_so_critiral_; }; }

Since this uses a derived class instead of a pointer, I've been calling this the "dimpl" idiom. :-) Josh
