well, quadruple backflip bozo award for me this evening:

  void f1(QString &s) { }
  void f2(const QString &s) { }

  int main()
  {
      f1(QString());  //  doesn't compile!?
      f2(QString());  //  does compile
      QString s;
      f1(s);  //  does compile, of course
      return 0;
  }

So I was looking in the C++ ARM to figure out whether that's correct,
and in my copy, on page 308, someone has scribbled the words "RUSTY
YOU ARE A BOZO" in handwriting which is remarkably similar to mine.

Very strange.

But I did find on page 146 the bit which proves I'm not a *total*
bozo: "In early versions of C++ where temporaries were allowed as
initializers for non-const references..."  Ha ha ha, and on page 155:
"Naturally, this feature will be faded out of implementations
slowly..."

Anyway, I guess I'll be fixing tonight's changes tomorrow...
