Code examples help. If you think about it, there is a fundamental asymmetry in function template argument deduction, in that the deduced types are fully available to be used within the function, including declaring new variables of the deduced types and derivations based on them, but there is no way to use such a deduced type *outside* the function. It is this asymmetry which typeof corrects. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated. To submit articles, try just posting with ] [ your news-reader.
