Ah, I was on vacation at that time so that's why I don't remember 
reading it. :)

Thanks! It's a nice workaround but it's, well, a workaround. It 
leaks the internals of the template mixin and a potential API 
user would have to remember two additional quirks when using it. 
I guess I'll try a different approach, initializing the mixed in 
members later with a function.
