   Not sure what you mean with copy ctor bloat, but for your_flavor_of_smart_ptr, that's what the typedef keyword is for. A common idiom I use is to typedef a class's preferred smart-pointer as ptr_t within the class namespace. Passing them ar

   If only c++ had some sort of static type system which could be leveraged to provide compile-time checks... But seriously, this is a large part of the power of c++'s type system. Taking the article's example, if the argument types were of (u
