For those of you who think authors are tacky to push their own stuff,
I'll take the liberty of pushing Bjarne's stuff for him.  :-)

It's good.  Especially the HOPL-II paper. (The text is good too, but it's 
just a text.)

I'm glad Bjarne is posting to this group frequently and trying to stay
above the fray. Let's emulate him.
