Worse, there appears to be an outright error in the G++ FAQ, which I just
searched high and low for a solution to my template problems:

"GNU ld (2.8 or later) ... will automatically remove duplicate instantiations
of templates ..."

ld 2.8.1 evidently does not. Use of rope<char> in two .cc files leads to
multiple definition link errors on a number of rope-related variables and
functions, such as that list of Fibonacci numbers in a "max_len" array in
ropeimpl.h.
