My understanding is that it was brought up by yourself in an attempt to 
explain that Cout("Hello, ")(Cin.get) will work properly. There was an 
old thread mentioned, which deals with another problem entirely. So that 
doesn't apply. Now I understand that argument has been dropped entirely, 
and that now there is an argument that Cout("Hello, ")(Cin.get) works 
due to some other unmentioned reasons.

Cout("Hello, ", Cin.get) would remain correct in any instance if it existed.
