C++ Concepts - not totally lost

As we all know, concepts were cut from the C++0x standard. However, it seems that all is not lost.
While browsing yesterday, I found this, and was I interested...!

Basically, we can emulate concepts with C++98 functionality and even more powerful concept checking with C++0x.
It would seem that concepts are basically just syntactic sugar since we can pretty much do all of it already. It isn't newbie friendly, but at least we, the experts, can still leverage concepts in our code.
It even introduced me to a concept I never knew.
I strongly urge those who haven't read this to do so.

And out of curiosity, how many knew of this already?

You did. I know because I explained part of it to you.

I actually learnt about some of that already, by reading GotW articles and reading the yasli_vector source code.

I always find stuff like this article interesting to read, even if it is way over my head :eek:
The concept sounds good though.
