I am a little curious as to how one can completely remove implementation
details of a C++ class from the user of the class.
I would like to design a system that users need only know the public
declarations and nothing else to use the class.
It seems to me that I will always have to provide a Header file that 
contains at least the declarations of all my private information.
Ultimately, I would like to give them a library containing my classes and
NOTHING else.
Could someone please clue me in!
