But you still haven't given me a reason I can understand why it shouldn't be "boost_range_begin()" etc..
Peter Dimov made some excellent arguments in the thread containing http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/9718 (click the subject line to see the thread).
It's true he made some excellent arguments in that thread, but this is a different argument. ;-) Once you accept as a given that we should be using an ADL customization point, what should we call it? In this message: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/9837 You say: "You're much safer using boost_range_end or range_end if you're trying to keep it small. I don't see any reason to keep it small, though: users won't be invoking that function directly." And I agree, it should be boost_range_end. We are in agreement. Now we just need to convince Thorsten. :-) -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
