I strongly dislike ordered_inserter. Its name indicates to me that it adds elements to a time_series--not at all that it deletes all pre-existing elements. I would expect it to overwrite the old elements only where a new element is specified.
That's a valid criticism. Can you suggest a better name?
I can't say that I'm really comfortable with the way ordered_inserter works regardless of the name. I would like it to behave something along the lines of: The inserter puts elements directly in the series eliminating the need for commit. It is an error when the series has elements after the offset of the inserter. An inserter is invalidated when the container is modified without using the iterator. Is there some reason why this doesn't work? If I need the other behavior I can always create a new series fill it and swap myself. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
