Hi Gareth,
A better solution would be make XMLString::replicate() a non-inline
function. Too many people already are confused by XMLString::transcode(),
etc., and I worry that an exception like this will just create more
confusion. It would great if people actually read the documentation before
they used the code, but they don't always do that, so relying is
problematic.
Thanks!
Dave

Hey David,
I missed that - its rather a good point! So in fact it does
more
than defeat the purpose, it may actually cause crashes. I think the
documentation should therefore be changed to state that you should not
call release on replicate under any circumstances. Would you agree?
