I was worried more (only) about the order of evaluation.
v += foo(), bar();
I don't think order of evaluation is sacred. However, I am also not keen on using comma for this. I'd rather use operator<<(). v << foo() << bar(); This is partly because comma is so small its easy to overlook, partly because it is used for so many other common things, and partly because I think the semantics of operator<<() fit better here. "Append these items to that stream or container, with conversion or formatting if appropriate." I would also be happy with: v << repeat(5) << 4; meaning: v << 4 << 4 << 4 << 4 << 4; and so forth. It doesn't bother me that: v = 1, 2, 3; has no direct equivalent. It becomes: v.clear(); v << 1 << 2 << 3; Presumably you'd be content with operator<<() in that it doesn't imply an order of evaluation. -- Dave Harris, Nottingham, UK
