It should be noted, it's very clear his executable sizes are for a Debug compilation. I tossed the same code for the final example into VC10, and sure enough in release mode the compiled size is 10KB, and in debug it's just less than the size he stated. This is for 64-bit.

I'm not sure what point it serves to compare debug mode executable sizes, but that should be clearly stated in the article. As other people stated, the final example really ought to lose the wrapping class in the spirit of C++11 brevity and functional decomposition.
