Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but won't this use memory while defining a 
constant with #define won't use additional memory for an additional variable?
Of course, one could hope that the compiler will recognize and optimize it.
I certainly considered this, but this is really one of the points I don't 
agree in with B. Stroustrup .


Cheers,
