When you have a ton of similar lines of code which need to be

When you have a ton of similar lines of code, you'd better
start thinking about templates or mixins :P
Easy to say in theory, but makes absolutely no sense in many
cases. =P
Example:
boost::unordered_set<int> foo;
boost::unordered_map<int> bar;
and now I want to change 'boost' to 'std' because C++11 came out.
Templates? Mixins? wtf lol
