There's nothing I would keep on my private branch, nothing! Just tell me what template to use, and I'll instantiate it straight off. Constexpr it, and I'll assert it -- anything! Not 101 AOA!"
"101 AOA," said the investor.
The man's face, already triply-periodic, became more minimal than Brad would have believed possible. It was definitely, unmistakably, a gyroid.
