I actually wrote the template...You instantiate it like this:

class waycool : public Type_Specific_Pool_Base<waycool> {...};

The essence of the template is:

template<class T>
class Type_Specific_Pool_Base {
public:
  Type_Specific_Pool_Base();
  virtual ~Type_Specific_Pool_Base();
  void* operator new(size_t size);
  void* operator new(size_t size, T* rhs) ;
  void operator delete(void* target, size_t size);
}

I didn't post it b/c it crashes when I use it with std::stack (the only
collection I tried) and I haven't had a chance to track it down.  Works fine
for normal new/delete.  Anyway, if you want it, let me know.
