Well, techincally, the *syntax* is valid. If "MyCompare" contains 
a constructor, it's legit code to boot. It's part of the uniform 
initialization syntax, and it's what allows things like:

BigInt b = 5;
   or
BigInt b(5);

THAT said, yeah, the MyCompare I posted did not contain a 
constructor. SO my code was wrong, guilty as charged.
