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.
