It is sophisticated from the Design point of view, but not so from the us=
age point of view
since you have the default behaviour already plugged in!
If you need something slightly different, just implement the policy chang=
e you need and=20
that's it! It is Reaaallly neat and lots of fun too.

   > Is the Policy pattern widely used in CoreLinux++?
Unfortunately no.
I  come from a background where it is heavily used(scientific/intensive c=
omputing)
In corelinux it is more "conventional". Templates are just showing there=20
full power. It started ~4 years ago with meta-computing, expression templ=
ate
and other new programming techniques using templates; and now design usin=
g C++ has a new face
which is very appealing!  I'll try, with Frank approval, to incorporate s=
ome of these
new design ideas in corelinux.

Some Design Patterns in CoreLinux could benefit from these new ideas: for=
 example the Factory
Pattern.
