Perhaps I misunderstood Alex. I understood it as follows: let's write this 
clever reusable template solution for this problem as it is likely to recur. 
Since we were planning on reusing it, I thought we might as well make it 
cleaner so that novice KDE programmers can use it too. As you note later, the 
idea is very clever, but I thought a reusable template should guard against 
Murphy. I like your typedefs too, very much in the spirit of MCppD.

To get slightly off-topic, I think it is time we had a Singleton template 
anyway. At least KLibLoader could use it. I could use it in several of my 
apps.

Sorry, dude. I don't even have a copy of my own, I am a poor grad student :-(
