See http://www.cs.tut.fi/~esap/instructive/ for one method for
converting a program which uses constrained genericity to C++ using
class template partial specialization. It uses class template partial
specialization to implement different versions of the class for the case
where the class is derived from another class, and for the case where it
isn't. I think it's as well-designed as it ever will without explicit
language support, but I'd like to hear your opinions.
