The first I saw of this technique was in the excellent and
ahead-of-its-time book by Barton & Nackman, _Scientific and
Engineering C++_ (which, despite its name, is much more a book
about C++ templates and other fundamental techniques).
The C++ standards committee had the advantage of reading this
book before completing the standard, and found the techniques
so compelling that they were motivated to make sure that the
standardized language would support them properly.
