AFAICT the name ftag should be changed to something more descriptive and more certainly unique, e.g. boost_fusion_iterator_tag. Is there a reason it needs to be so short?
Why make such a trivial change to the interface post review? AFAICS now is too late, and will cause unnecessary pain to users.. like myself.
Well, actually, it shouldn't be a part of the interface. Here, I'm used to calling it the f#%$tag :) It's not supposed to be for public consumption, and I intend to enforce that. Either way, it's not a good name (especially for minors. ;) and it must be changed.
And BTW its pretty public in the 'make your own iterator" part of the docs. So far I have made 5 fusion style iterators. Next is the matrix minor iterator, which extracts minors from a matrix, as a prelude to extracting cofactors. Fusion::Views are wonderful things .... regards Andy little
