Given your desire to avoid compiler workarounds, an on line code
generator may be helpful. One of the happy results of going on line is
kissing compiler workarounds good-bye.

I've worked on the distribution of code generated by an on line code
generator -- http://webEbenezer.net/build_integration.html . You're
welcome to use that as a starting point if you like.
