Re: [Boost-users] [BGL] - Undocumented Predicates for filtered_graph

In filtered_graph.hpp there appear to be a number of predefined predicates for general use (they are no in the detail namespace). One of them that I'd like to use is is_in_subset, but it appears that set_contains is not defined anywhere, not even for the most common case (std::set).

Shouldn't Boost provide something like

template bool set_contains(const std::set &s, const E &e) { return s.find(e) != s.end(); }

and vice-versa for is_not_in_subset so that users don't have to open up the boost namespace and define it themselves?

That's probably the aging effect of source code. There may have been a set_contains at one point (I had thought it would have been in pending/container_traits.hpp), but it seems to have disappeared. I'm not sure what do do here... It seems like there's a need for a set of generic algorithms (insert, find, nd erase) that operate on containers rather than their iterators, but it seems like it should be a top-level library.
