If I had a library that only implemented quad-trees and then proposed it as Boost.Generic Spatial Index, I would think the reviewers would have something to say about that.
Please note that GGL is a "geometry library" implemented using "generic programming". Though we aim to a broad scope, we don't aim to "generic geometry"
has there been a discussion about the name of the library? with other libraries that has come up and the conclusion was that there are already enough "* Template Library" aka ?TL. Generic Geometry Library comes down to "Generic * Library" aka G?L because like you said "generic" doesn't say anything about the domain of the library, but about the programming style. not much different than "Template". so what's left is: G Geometry.
