That was for a completely different project at the time, and seemed to make sense then. :-) > Easily enough done with class hierarchy.

Perhaps it is easier to explain with an email overview. My biggest concern is STL container safety, and I know that can be done with a class hierarchy, I just wanted to keep things simple, and I figured helper classes or functions were still a valid route. I still prefer that, but can be convinced otherwise. > Ha. Good enough. You might want to figure out a way we can better indicate > what is being worked on, or needs to be done next.

Some of those templates were quick and dirty internal .cc things, and RecordT does make more sense.
