does the library need something that runtime-polymorphism delivers and that 
cannot be done with templates? Not that I'm such a big fan of templates, but 
they proved useful. Maybe not that much in domain-specific applications, but 
in interface part of many libraries they work pretty well (Boost is good 
example here). I'd also argue that they usually proved more extensible than 
libraries designed around OOP.
