For me this library (which you call Spirit-2) is something so fundamentally new, it should a) undergo some review (at least concerning the interface) b) reside in its own directory
Well, Joel doesn't develop his library in a vacuum.
Really? How can he move so fast then? ;-P
There's a strong Spirit community that reviews all of his design decisions. There's no voting, of course, but I don't think that would be appropriate here.
Could you please explain why you think it is not appropriate to vote about a completely new interface that enters boost? I mean Spirit-X maybe once enters the C++ standard. It's already the most important parser library of the world. So it is better not to carve errors in stone at a stage that yet allows changes. Is it a problem if we all check this for user's issues *after* the inner circle is satisfied? best regards, Markus
