Not having this is, in my book a big loss for C++. It leads to needless duplication of classes and ambigious interface bindings. If you need examples of why this is useful, I can provide them. In each case, you are able to provide an equiv. interface by introducing new classes (if I grok the MI rules), but it's gratitous introduction of classes. -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu)
