Borland C++ 3.1 (mentioned in the article) does have templates, although it doesn't have nested templates. It also didn't have namespaces (i think that was added in 5.0, which was still released before the first C++ standard). Keep in mind that the C++98 mainly standardized what compilers were already doing.
