I prefer the string view too.
I just have one thing to say: vector<bool>.
Pardon me, but somehow I cannot figure out the point here. Can you please explain the me the connection to vector<bool>
vector<bool> creates all kinds of problems because generic code can't make assumptions about the behavior of vector<T>. vector<bool> is widely regarded as a Bad Move. Dave is saying that treating char[] different than, say, int[] is inviting the same sorts of problems. It will make it difficult to deal with T[] in generic code. I agree with Dave. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
