What is the "string_algo precedent"? The string algorithms are in headers under boost/algorithm/string/, and live in namespace boost::algorithm (but are also pulled into namespace boost).
Ah, my mistake. I just saw it in the URL and assumed it meant something: http://www.boost.org/doc/html/string_algo.html
If the name "algorithm" is going to be in the namespace at all, wouldn't it make more sense to put it under boost::algorithm (either directly, or as a nested namespace)?
That's a good point. The only quibble I'd have is that boost::algorithm::hash::digest looks like a verb, and I do need the one noun.
