I was asking because I wasn't sure about a static template member
being used from a static template member function. But now I am.
See my other posting, or swig_arg.hpp revision 1.1 once it shows up:

  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/cctbx/boost_adaptbx/

It is so simple now I could explain it to my grandma.
BTW: I've also tested under Tru64 Unix with cxx (to make sure my
static member handling is kosher).

Branch...? Shudder. I'll wait. If someone wants it now it is easy
enough to get (link above).

Cheers,
