Agreed.  I will revise the feature diagram, and then freeze it as iteration 
one and post it in the vault.

The other homework assignment is to study C&E Part II, Implementation 
Techniques.  Particularly Chapter 10, Static Metaprogramming in C++.

[five minutes later...] Amazing!  They present compile-time IF<>, SWITCH<>, 
WHILE<>, DO<>, and FOR<> templates!  I'm going to take the rest the day off 
to read this!

Thanks,
