Please always state in your review, whether you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library!
Yes, it should be accepted.
- What is your evaluation of the design? The CollectionConcept appears well defined and useful. The ExternalConcept approach taken is immediatley easy to understand.
- What is your evaluation of the implementation? Only glanced at it. Looks clean/straightforward.
- What is your evaluation of the documentation? Good. It was possible to get an immediate feel for what the library could do and how to use it. More detailed information was easy to find, and quite sufficient.
- What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? I could immediately see potential applications eg. I have used the iterator adaptors library to produce a flattening iterator, which allows an (outer) container of (inner) containers to be accessed as if it were a single container of the inner type. The library would make extending this adaptor to support collections (inner and outer) that are not containers very stright forward.
- Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? I have yet to try to use the library.
- How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? A quick reading.
- Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? Reasonably, as an STL user.
