A recent paper on the implementation techniques used in Adobe's
runtime-polymorphic value object library can be found in the MPOOL 2007
proceedings. If you are interested, please see:

Mat Marcus, Jaakko Järvi and Sean Parent:
*Runtime Polymorphic Generic Programming-Mixing Objects and Concepts in
ConceptC++*

Some additional details can soon be found in:
