title: Why are template mixins in C++ not more of a mainstay?
body: <p>I use template mixins in C++ a lot, but I'm wondering why the technique isn't used more.  It seems like the ultimate in reuse.  This mix of power and efficiency is one of the reasons I really love C++ and can't see myself moving to a JIT language.</p>
