Since free functions and static [member] functions are the same type, should we just use "free_" as the prefix and drop "free_or_static_" ?
Initially it was called "unbound". It was changed to "free_or_static" because it is more intuitive. But that "_or_" may cause confusion.
So reverting to "unbound" would be another option...
In contradiction to my statement in another branch of this thread about not having multiple tags that are interchangeable, perhaps having both "free" and "static" would be helpful.
And require another underscore suffix for static...
Oh, right. There was an expressed desire to avoid the underscore. There's still the issue of which the library would use when querying a type, so I'll recant and return to my original goal: don't have duplicates. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
