I think it's a fuzzy line in the sand, so all I really know is that I do like "ref" and don't like "fs" :)
Yes, is seems that it comes down to personal preference. Dave likes to say filesystem, and you don't like fs...
I never liked either. "filesystem" is too long and sounds affected. "fs" is too short and non-specific. Those names just escaped because nothing better surfaced.
Maybe if the LWG likes the library enough to standardize it we can come up with a better name.
Just a thought: "files" is about the right length, and says about the right thing. If you're not abbrev-adverse it could even stand for "filesystem". -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
