I don't think we have Eric's opinion about the scheme... Eric, have you seen the discussion about consistent type registration?
I skimmed it and it seems over-engineered to me. IMO, the libraries that will want typeof support are those which have complicated intermediate types -- the expression template libraries. And for those libraries, you'll need to register all the types that could show up in the resulting expression. Those can all go in one file. Done. I don't see a compelling reason to make it more complicated. What is the argument for separate files? Compile times? Has anyone measured? -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
