Right.  There were two lines with that code, and I was sure you were 
quoting the first one.  My mistake.

As for the unnamed namespace, I don't agree.  All names in it have 
external linkage, and I for one don't see the reason to have more 
exported symbols when they can't be accessed from outside anyway.  I 
vote for static.
