I feel the same; none of the proposals are good, and user-defined predicates are probably rare enough that the below compare() idea is fine.
I uploaded a new version of multivalues.zip that includes a test() function. I thought "test" sounded better than "compare" for general predicate tests: if (test(all_of(a), pred(), any_of(b)))... vs. if (compare(all_of(a), pred(), any_of(b)))... Let me know which you prefer or if you have a better idea. The ^ operator is still supported until there is some consensus on another operator or on supporting no operator. Another option is to provide support for several operators so one can choose whichever one likes best. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
