"...most algorithms can be implemented in terms of fold.", "...what is the fold algorithm?". "...std::accumulate."
So most algorithms can be implemented in terms of std::accumulate?
std::accumulate is the name of the algorithm that is typically known as fold in functional programming languages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)
If so I think I can see your point, but surely empty() in terms of std:: accumulate would be a bit obtuse?
It wouldn't be very complicated, just not efficient. accumulate(rng, true, phoenix::val(false));
