Driver inheritance pattern - parent should print child's name

README.md

See getname.py and try to implement the same in C++ with and without using templates.

"""
This Python code contains two driver classes - parent constructor prints
name of current driver. This is an example that should be ported to C++.

Code is placed into public domain.
