Well, I violated a couple of these for sure.  I use templates.  I used
static constructors (although I don't really care if they're ever called
-- I just made them to get the templates instantiated).

I'd be interested to know if this causes trouble for people right now (I
know the static initializer one is an issue for bare iron).  I'd also be
interested in how we can punt on these -- although if I have to use m4
to do what I've been doing with templates, I am going to have to take a
bath after writing those macros (shudder).
