The factory function is static, but the transformer itself is not. Each
transformer holds a copy of the data it is to transform. I couldn't make
the thing stateless before because I needed the front(), back() member
functions to have the same signature.
Now that you have shown me how to use boost::any that could change.
string const RotationLatexCommand::front(RotationData const &) const;
(or indeed I could use a static function).
That would certainly get rid of the auto_ptr stuff. Let's see how this all
evolves.
Thanks for the spelling tips ;-)
