Thanks for this; I don't have a compiler that produces unused variable
warnings. It's easy for these things to pile up while you're

Hmmm. Token has three constructors, and every one initializes
m_sortcode; could this be a compiler bug? I wonder if it could be
triggered by the fact that two of the three initializers can throw an
exception and abort the constructor.
