My original gripe was simple, if I declare bmp = class() should I really have to tell the compiler what the return type is? ideally no.

>its now in 4 spots (header, function definition, and two spots on the same line in case the compiler cant find those?)

also they added a ^ operator so thats cool.

but I guess my gripe is every time I want a different taxonomy function I have to page up to the top of my CPP and type 42 keystrokes. (also I think I might have been missing an extra taxonomy there and its really 5 namespaces deep.)
