How about simply
_1 _10 _100 ... then? *if* it's deemed desirable to have such constants in the first place. I.e., in what instances are the corresponding literals insufficient?
We decided not to add constants that were simple integers, if there's a good use case we could certainly add them though.
-------------------------------------------------------------- I guess (1) would be better than one(). The only real use for them that I know is with non-built-in types that lack conversion to/from int. (This arises with explicit ctors, etc.) But since boost policy wants user-defined types to be convertible, the int (1) is better than the subroutine one(), etc. I guess this was a relic in my brain. Sorry. Best regards, Chris.
