Perhaps it's too late to suggest this, but could the library be given a more meaningful name than "stratified"? Perhaps "fiber" as that's what's being implemented?
fiber (Windows specific) - was one of its previous names like:
fiber, strand, stratified, tasklet, ...
I'm not sure which name would fit better.
Please do not use 'strand'. It's an existing different concept in Asio which will majorly confuse any user if you go with it. I'd recommend 'fiber', not getting stuck up on platform specific names. After all, you've got things like the Windows mutexes which are IPC primitives, while the 'mutex' in Boost.Thread is intra-process. I'm opposed to the "Stratified" and "stratum" names, as they do not really mean anything relevant, and as far as I know, have never been used in literature to mean user-level threading. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
