I had to view Daniel Frey's mail as an attachment, but from reading it I have a question:

He suggested:
> friend const T operator+( const T& lhs, const T& rhs )
> {
>    T nrv( lhs );
>    nrv += rhs;
>    return nrv;
> }

Why not use:

friend const T operator+ (const T& lhs, const T& rhs)
{
    return T(lhs) += rhs;
}

doing away with the named temporary, and possibly using normal return value optimization?
