His question was analogous to asking why we don't write david::abrahams.

I hope it is obvious that it wasn't.

For the record, if it were obvious to me I wouldn't have asserted otherwise.

There are many differences between the name of the human David Abrahams and the name of a C++ library that happens to reside in a certain namespace.

But really, I hope we agree that the bicycle shed has been discussed more than enough already.

Agreed. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
