For my future Boost.RDB submission, I feel tempted to put everything except the names that are in the public (documented) interface in a nested `namespace detail`.
Nod: ideally only public documented interfaces should be in the top level namespace.
Why not even put *everything* there and copy selected names in the public namespace by means of using-declarations.
Note that this can break ADL and/or user-specialisations of documented interfaces. Of course if you don't want those happenning... HTH, John.
Has it been already done ? And what about having three namespaces : a "public" one for the user, a "protected" one for those extending the lib, and a "private" one for undocumented internals?
Opinions and advise welcome...
