Thanks,
I'm taking the approach of the default constructor with an initializer
function. That seems to be a reasonable workaround.
Oh and BTW I was not using Notepad++ for some reason I was not able to copy
and paste from vim into chrome. Notepad++ does great indenting although not
quite as good as vim. I'm right now developing on Ubuntu, since CUDA works
much easier on it.
