I like "dismiss" for disabling, but I don't think "summon", "guard", or "post" intuitively make sense. "enable"/"disable" or
I think "guard" does make sense, but it overloads the other uses of the word in the library which will make verbal discussions harder.
"activate"/"deactivate" sound better to my ears, unless there is a better word to pair with "dismiss". To be honest, I'm not convinced that too much focus on comparing this concept with a real-world guard is a good thing.
I think the object is aptly named and trying to find a suitable pair of words that map to real world concepts is worthwhile. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
