What do people think of actually including things like this in code? In terms of maintenance and readability, is it a good idea to create so many different ways of doing things? Purely thinking from the POV that, I find a library I want to modify to support some new thing, and I find it is full of unusual styles and obfuscated custom techniques. I'm not knocking boost or the stl, just wondering if things like trying to recreate python styles in C++ are a step too far, a sort of "what is wrong with the C++ style?" question. No flames, I'm _not_ telling anybody they are 'wrong' :) Gaz
