This approach leads to an combinatorial number of overloads, does it not? Surely there must be a way to do static multiple dispatch using metaprogramming instead.
No, there are three algorithms and three overloads. Any combination of many possible inputs resolves to the correct algorithm through metaprogramming. This operator API is concepts based.
Excellent, I misunderstood. I think that design should scale much better for new concepts. Personally I want beziers and splinegons. Looking forward to seeing this and how it merges with the other implementations.
As it is I got a repetitive stress injury from typing typename, typedef ::type the < > and _ chars and saving ever twenty seconds with :w because I'm a vi user.
I got RSI before I knew about metaprogramming too. Now I think more and type less. :D Gordon
