Subject: Re: C++ briar patch (Was: Object IDs are bad) From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1997/05/29 Newsgroups: comp.lang.scheme,comp.lang.lisp,comp.lang.misc,comp.lang.functional,comp.lang.c++ Message-ID: <3073917302219164@naggum.no> * Peter da Silva | You're getting into the implementation level again.
