[ZooLib-dev] C++ Style at Kuro5hin

I wrote an article entitled "Musings on Good C++ Style" which is presently on

K5 is a pretty good web community, much more general in focus and more civilized 
than Slashdot.

The article discusses controlling header dependencies, memory management with

References and Values (20000+ words) which is at
