I entered this into VisualStudio, and it worked great.

However, when I tried to compile it under Linux, GCC refused to accept it.

First, VS seems to somehow allow you to compile things even without 
actually importing the necessary include files. (E.g., it will happily 
accept std::shared_ptr even though I didn't #include <memory>.) GCC 
demands that you actually specify the include files [like you'd expect]. 
Weird, but true.

Second, it seems this "feature" only exists in C++11. I don't know what 
GCC is defaulting to, but apparently you have to add a switch to tell it 
to accept C++11. And when I do that, my code compiles perfectly, but the 
rest of the codebase breaks spectacularly.

So, in summary, I had to revert everything back to how it was. *sigh*
