So, there was a really interesting and hot discussion about namings. Many opinions were expressed and I'd like to make some roundup. These are the variants looked most suitable to me as the names of status modification functions: - arm/disarm. Although, noone have said anything about them, they are still in the current implementation and look quite applicable. - activate/deactivate (enable/disable). Other synonims for arm/disarm, a bit longer though. - on/off. The most laconic form. Though, these are not verbs as usually used for functions. One might think they are some getter functions. - guard/dismiss. On the on hand, the commonly used "dismiss" should look familiar. On the other, its meaning is too strong in regard of the function semantic. The "guard" may be used as well but the word is already frequently used. Besides, the guard's status enum values' names propably won't corellate with these words (I just don't see the active status name with root "guard" - guard::guarding? :( ). The other versions looked less reflective to me so I didn't include them in the list. I would be glad if you just vote for one of these positions to take the final decision. The make_guarded_call function name seems does not attract that much attention, so I shall leave it be. Besides, it it possible that I even remove it from the library, because it can be easily replaced by explicit "do" functor call and make_guard followed by it. Unfortunately, nearly no attention have been paid to the implementation itself, so there's nothing much to roundup here. PS: Still the question about checking in the library is arisen. The naming changes are 5 minutes worth, so the final version will be available very soon with almost no code changes. Will someone want to make a code revision or may I just gain access and checkin?
