I do agree about BindLib being a poor name. It is actually onto its third choice of name now :( but to date, it's the least terrible of the reasonably descriptive library names I have thought of.
Yes, naming is the hardest problem. :-) Not sure what you'll think of this, but how about Boost.Using? Or Boost.NameAlias?
Boost.Using ...
Yes, I think I like that a lot. Thank you.
I'm not sure that's a good choice either, for all that it sounds cool. Namespace boost::using would be confusing if it weren't illegal. "Using Boost.Using" in documentation would be confusing. (Even more so if "Boost" were omitted.) I'm sure some people would think, on seeing it in an index or table of contents somewhere, that it referred to general usage instructions for Boost as a whole, rather than the name of a particular library.
