Your program can exploit a functor's capabilites.

A functor has many advantages: it can be the OO equivalent to a callback
function.
In can be a "Command" and also a "Strategy".

This is a link to the most down to earth example I could find. I am not
real pleased with it, but it looks OK if you have the necessary background.

The link must be concatenated.

Also take a look at this, short of motivation but good for syntax.

Scroll down to Shiva, a familiar name.

If you continue to search you will find Coplien mentioned a lot; I have the
book but don't find it particularly helpful.

Your best bet would seem to be Usenet rather than the generalized Web.
