You maybe interested in a C++ class that I wrote.

Been there, done that:

(see safetypes.tar.gz and range.tar.gz)

I don't see where you've "done that."


I have dropped this idea because I think that the external code
generator is much more flexible and more powerful with regard to the
type safety that can be gained. Range checking is just one little part
of what is needed. Template classes are fine if you can afford limiting
yourself only to this little part, but that's not usually the case.

I never said it was the end-all-be-all, just thought you may be
interested. I don't know what you think templates are limiting you to.
