Hi,

 I understand that the latest working draft of the ISO/ANSI C++
standard now includes more flexible support for function templates.
In particular, if there is a function:

----------------------------------------
template <class C>
int compare (const String& s1,
      const String& s2)
{
 //...
 if (!C::eq (s1[i], s2[i]))
  //...
}
----------------------------------------

and a class:

----------------------------------------
class CMP
{
public:
 static int eq (char a, char b);
};
----------------------------------------

and two String objects:

----------------------------------------
String s1, s2;
----------------------------------------

then we could invoke this template using some sort of notation such
as:

----------------------------------------
1. compare<CMP> (s1, s2);

2. compare (s1, s2, CMP);
----------------------------------------

However, I'm not sure which version (1 or 2) of the syntax is the
correct one.  Could someone please let me know!

 Thanks,

  Doug
