But Alexey, are your imported buildfiles just off the self buildfiles or
were they written specifically to be importable. I guess your preprosessor
(was the preprosessor yours?) is doing at least part of the specialization.
So one could make the argument that in fact you are using a type (1)
but for very specific purposes.
Anyway, I smell a religiour war comming and I really do not want to get into
that. ;-)
