Hussein, There are certainly some advantages to use a template for the vector type, mostly because it allows you try out multiple but I wouldn't be surprised if you settle on one or the other in the end. There really isn't much of a difference using the approach taken in step-40 via preprocessor guarded alias namespaces or via templates. I would probably go with templates, though, since that feels more natural for C++. I wouldn't expect much of a compile time overhead either way. In the end, you only compile what you use.
