I guess only in that the latter is too obvious ;-)
Of course I've used that solution before, but when I needed it this time
it didn't occur to me and I started with prepost.hpp, of course after
that I didn't consider an alternative to the whole approach, only
implementation details.  Oh well, coding throughout the holidays->lack
of sleep->getting caught up.  But thanks for reminding me, now I really
don't see the need to anymore, not even for myself.
