Compared to (v,XY)?
The best is the enemy of the good.
I requested if it is not terse enough.
This problem does not have a good solution in C++, any chosen operator has drawbacks. That said, I wouldn't support ref(v).X() for accessing the X element of a vector, or ref(v).XY() for swizzling.
what about ref(v)[xy]? wrapping the custom type in a ref call alleviates the restriction against the () and [] operators. or maybe: swizzle(v, xy) i also wonder if this might be possible: ref(v)->xy assuming the xy is a field in an enum that the operator-> returns. whether or not there's anyway of intercepting that to actually do the swizzle though i'm not sure...
