Hi,
Well, I certainly read your messages in the thread and somehow they did not come across as you were against. It's certainly clear now. Even though I was not proposing to change anything. It was clearly an addition, i.e. it would not have any disruptive impact. However, the practical usefulness of that addition is substantial (well, for my and I suspect others usage pattern). [...]
If you really want to push this change, you should involve the C++ committee, especially the authors of N1973 Kevlin Henney and Beman Dawes.
I am CCing the authors. Maybe they see it in a more favorable light. :-) Not sure through if they get back to me/us on that.
I haven't been following the discussion, so would it be possible for you to provide some context/background? Thanks, Kevlin -- ____________________________________________________________ Kevlin Henney phone: +44 117 942 2990 mailto:kevlin@curbralan.com mobile: +44 7801 073 508 http://curbralan.com fax: +44 870 052 2289 Curbralan: Consultancy + Training + Development + Review ____________________________________________________________
