It really isn't so bad once you get used to it. A lot easier than trying
to use partial specialization, for example. And it seems to be less
sensitive to compiler quirks than might be expected.

Read the book (or at least the C++ parts of it); don't jump to quickly to
judgement. Try a little code. It really works.
