4. Having a pile of names prefixed by "range_" (like
boost::range_const_iterator) just seems wrong to me when we have namespaces. Is there a good reason we're not using boost::range::const_iterator or boost::ranges::const_iterator?
decision made in review or post-review. people like it that way.
Count one more vote against, FWIW.
ok, will do. the question that I have is that will changing these names have any effect except on me which has to do it?
if we can provide more thourough naming guide-lines for future boost libs, then let's do so.
This affects me too. In the iostreams library I had metafunctions named category and char_type which in the usual case simply extract member types of the same name. In the interest of uniform naming I changed these to io_category and io_char, which sound a bit funny to me, esp. the latter. Jonathan
