What about the name? Shouldn't it be "BOOST_FOR_EACH"?
Why? Because of the distinct English words?
Yes. And for consistency with other C++ macros, algorithms and keywords. I've argued at greater length in the other thread.
FWIW, I agree with Dave on this. We should not pretend it's a keyword. It's not. Also, Peter noted that the proper spelling for the keyword would be "for". So, if we try to follow that, it would have to be spelled: "BOOST_FOR", which IMO is a lot better. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
