Right, but I want it in the class namespace. I.e., I can choose between various types of ugliness -- wrong namespace, funny syntax, or (currently) gcc-dependence. I used to choose gcc- dependence, but then switched to funny syntax. In the future when c++0x support is more widespread, of course, I won't have to make such an annoying choice any more... -Miles -- XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve your problem, you're not using enough of it.
