After a long hiatus, the Once, Weakly feature is coming back to life!
The first installment in our new series discusses the use of a template
member function in a non-template class to implement an extended version
of the Monostate pattern.

Additionally, we've added a satellite web site for C++ Gotchas
(Addison-Wesley, 2003) that should be available in early December. The
site is not fully live yet, since the book's code examples are not yet
online, but it might be worth a look. The code examples *should* be
there within a week.

A sad side effect of the book's appearance will be the removal of the
existing "Once, Weakly" material from the site, since that has been
incorporated in (one hopes) improved form into C++ Gotchas.

Best regards,

Steve
