Ok, this is going to be my last mail in this discussion

play flute to a donkey, because first you waste your
time, and second you disturb the donkey).

What part of 'another techniques' you don't understand? Use the
correct tool for this topic, and type system is not the correct
tool here. In fact I cannot remember the last time I had an error
like this you are describing, do you have them usually? maybe you
should change your way of coding and avoid them, or maybe you just
realized you don't have them?

Today is one of my happiest days, I just realized that after a lot
of years I am beginning to forgive c++. Thank you for showing it
to me.
