Agreed. What I would like to see in improved version of
Loki's Singleton:
a) Simpler declaration syntax for Singletons(be it CRTP, 
macros, or anything)
b) Ability to use SingletonWithLongevity without having to 
link with additional libraries (probably via #define)
c) Better debugging support - automatic detection of cyclic 
dependencies, preferrably in compile-time(dreams, dreams..)
