Here is my proposal for the operator trait names.
Consistent with my preference on cross library and c++ standard naming consistency these are the collections of names that are (measurably) most consistent with the names used for operators in the standard (header<functional>), Boost.Proto and other Boost libraries. [...]
To save you some time, I have inserted my proposal as *column D* into the

+0.5. As a frequent user of Boost.TypeTraits, the names suggested by Joachim Faulhaber would be the ones I would look for.

I agree. "bitwise" would be nicer and the naming consistency with proto would be higher. Yet my #1 priority is naming consistency across libraries. In other words I am aiming for standardisation. Accordingly I have rules: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Guidelines/Naming/Operators And of course, if there *is* a true standards, if I like it or not, this existing standard hat priority #1 for the name choice. Names bit_and, bit_or, bit_xor related to bitweise operators are not in the current standard, but in the new standard, that is almost completed, AFAIK. So we have three options here: (1) Trying to change the new stadard in this specific point before its too late. (2) Accepting names bit_xxx as the standard names for bitwise operators. (3) Abandone the consistency goal. The numbers indicate my prefereces here.
* To be consistent with at least proto, has_left_shift should be has_shift_left (in all permutations of left/right + assign)
There is no naming from the standard for shift operators. Boost.Proto and Boost.Operator disagree. I chose left_shift right_shift because they can be "conceptified" by appending suffix "able". (Rule 4.b from https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Guidelines/Naming/Operators) left_shiftable right_shiftable which are the names used by Boost.Operators Regards, Joachim -- Interval Container Library [Boost.Icl] http://www.joachim-faulhaber.de
