 ### CRTP instead of a virtual base class
-We left this approach and now use a [CRTP](https://www.fluentcpp.com/2017/05/16/what-the-crtp-brings-to-code/) approach instead. That way we can get rid of the virtual base class and hopefully by avoiding virtual function calls and now with the opportunity to inline functions we can optimize the code further.

 ## What do you have to change?
 A typical situation where you need the element schemes is when you loop over all trees and all elements in each tree to call a function on each element:
-```cpp

 /* Loop over each tree in the forest */
 for (t8_locidx_t itree = 0; itree < num_local_trees; ++itree){
   /* Get the tree with local id itree. */

 Instead of getting the tree specific scheme we only need to get the schemes used by this forest in total. Additionally (such that the scheme knows which implementation to use) we add the class of the tree to the call of the element function:
-```cpp
+<pre><code>
 /* Get the scheme used by this forest. */
-const t8_scheme *scheme = t8_forest_get_scheme(forest);

 In summary there are two major changes:
