Bad guess ;^)
Maybe I should start including the following lines in my .bash_profile:
alias change_current_directory="cd" alias list_directory="ls"
Shell commands are generally written once and thrown away. Code needs to be read many more times than it's written.
Totally agree, that is why I prefer using fully qualified identifiers. That combined with my laziness and not-wide-enough screen lead me to prefer short namespace names. Short as in "few letters but still very clear as to semantics." Like "fs", but maybe not like "mpl"... I will leave it at this, since I am deviating from Boost right now. /David
