Hi folks--

I'm sorry I've been offline for a while and missed this thread.

Angus, GREAT job completing the grammar and packaging everything up!
Your modifications look like a _major_ improvement over my QnD 
implementation--especially incorporating spirit.  I can't wait to try 
them out.

My only quibble is with the Windows #ifdef's and specialization 
flags--I much prefer subclassing.  Before everyone jumps on that, I 
know it's primarily a matter of style--and that performance often rules 
the day.

I especially abhor #ifdef's in the body of the code--when unavoidable 
they should be restricted to a configuration section--such as 
initializing a class variable.

There's something funny with your performance stats:   the 
glob_function results show an elapsed time that's less than the sum of 
system and user time.  How can that be?
