I read it, and it sounds sensible. How would you characterize the reaction thus far?

Umm, well. Let's see. http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1912.pdf, which breaks code and doesn't really solve the problems, has been given floor time in the evolution working group at least three times now.

You mean Herb's proposal, right?

My proposal, which was first submitted in 2002, has never been given any serious consideration.

FWIW, evolution gave full support to Herb with the caveat that the namespace() operator was also introduced to get the old behavior. -Thorsten
