I've been thinking for a few weeks about importers, particularly w.r.t.
XML, e.g.:
class ABI_EXPORT IE_Imp
class ABI_EXPORT IE_Imp_XML : public IE_Imp
class ABI_EXPORT IE_Imp_XHTML : public IE_Imp_XML
thinking that XML import really ought to be more fundamental, so that
class ABI_EXPORT IE_Imp_XML : public IE_Imp, UT_XML
if that's the correct syntax.
If it's just old versions of G++ that have problems with multiple
inheritance, is it worth consigning that piece of folklore to the
fairy-tale books as a story to frighten our children with?
"Once upon a time, there lived in the forest an ugly little compiler
whom all the other compilers used to make fun of. 'Single inheritant!
Single inheritant!' they used to taunt and jeer before running off into
the forest to help the woodcutters who were chopping down all the trees
because in those days books were made out of paper and libraries needed
many books.
"But then one day, the ugly little compiler metamorphosed into a
beautiful white swan and -"
Oh, wait. That's something else.
