But, sure, a lot of implementations aren't very clever about this and other things that can be optimized. I think it is a question of time. In time, implementations will be have matured enough to handle this and other problems. Very good (and very expensive or unavailable) implementations already exists that can do what you want and much more. The other side of the coin is that the implementations of other languages (C for example) aren't better at this than C++ implementations, in general. /David
