Summary
I made a mistake in my latest Agile C++ article for C++ Users Journal, and I want to retract it.

I made a big mistake in my latest article "Building More Flexible Types with Mixins", I called the technique of a class inheriting from a template parameter an example of the Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (CRTP). Instead it is an example of a, as far as I know, unnamed pattern of inheritance of a template parameter. If this pattern indeed lacks a name I propose the Parameterized Inheritance Pattern ( PIP ). Thanks to Terje Slettebo for pointing out the error.
