Hi Alex,

Thanks for replying. I attribute the lack of sensibleness in my post to 
lack of sleep.

I actually am defining toString as member function of S, but it only now 
occurred to me that structs are always passed by value, not by 
reference. Of course then it cannot be copied.

Thanks again =)
