Yes i have seen so already. And oh no, i personally hate it from the bottom of my heart. It has led to obscenities like automatic injection of class instantiations from within headers into each using compilation unit etc. I favour blood, sweat and tears instead. Just like old Rolls Royce where a craftsman had to hammer for three days until a single fender was formed. --steffen
