Templates with default types

Consider this structure:

Code:

---

template<class T = double>
struct Vector
{
  Vector()
  {
    x = T(0);
    y = T(0);
  }

  ...

  T x;
  T y;
}

---

To create a structure you type:

Code:

---

Vector<float> v1;
Vector<> v2; //T = double

---

However the <> is still needed even when using the default type. From a pedantic and visual standpoint I really find this ugly. Is there any way to make this work:

Code:

---

Vector<float> v1;
Vector v2; //T = double

---

(without typedefing and appending letters like Vectorf, Vectord, Vectori etc...)

?

Nope.

"Vector<>" is required by the standard. You'll have to settle on a typedef or macro or whatever.
