Hello,

Toon Knapen was so kind to point me to an article which discusses "Type Based 
Alias Analysis".  It is a technique that allows C++ programs to compile to 
faster code than C programs by analysing to which type a pointer points.
At the end, the author discusses how templates benefit from this optimization 
too.
