Re: [Boost-users] Overloading boost::for_each()

I think just overloading for_each() and writing algorithms in terms of that when possible would get the same benefits, though.

This way lies madness. The separation of containers and algorithms in the STL is what keeps it manageable. You don't want to implement N algorithms over M container types. You want to define a concept on which you can "overload" for_each. -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
