I will need another member function to return the position ordinal of a given element (that is, the inverse of operator[]), and for that "position" seems also a good candidate.
IMO that should have been "index."
But "index" already has a disparate meaning in the context of Boost.MultiIndex.
I'm not sure that's a problem. But if it is, maybe you should rename the library. I'm only half-kidding: if you can't use index to mean what it usually means in the most basic computer programs, it feels to me like something is wrong.
I need another synonim: ordinal, rank, situation?
I would use ordinal if I had to pick one of those. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
