'The library is given a name that describes the contents of the library. Cryptic abbreviations are strongly discouraged. Following the practice of the C++ Standard Library, names are usually singular rather than plural. For example, a library dealing with file systems might chose the name "filesystem", but not "filesystems", "fs" or "nicecode".'
what was the reason to force 'filesystem' instead of 'fs'?
Dollars to donuts nobody "forced" it; Beman merely had the good design sense to spell the word out rather than using a cryptic abbreviation. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost
