   Does this get you where you're going instead?   
      
   template   
   class Range   
   {   
   public:   
       Range();   
   	....   
   };   
      
   That allows min/max to be set at runtime or compile time in a   
   conventional way.   
      
   Note that T cannot be just any type.  It can be integral or a pointer,   
   but not e.g. float.
