Hi Vladimir, all,
First off, I'll respond to Rob and Jeremy.
Here's again the alternate "simpler"
[purposefully snip context that may not appear in code] string_convert<int, dont_throw>(s); // or string_convert<int>(s, _throw=false) if that's impossible So I'm creating a string from an int but not throwing, is my first reading of that snippet(maybe I'm "wacky" though). The function name starts with a common type followed by a verb, followed by a type, so I This function may appear in some function call: some_function(string_convert<int, dont_throw>(s)); This requires that I dig up both some_function's signature and the type of s. Easy you say! What about template< typename T> void some_function(T t); template< typename S> void outerFunction(S s) { some_function(string_convert<int, dont_throw>(s)); } I find the "wacky" convert<int>::from(s) much less ambiguous which I literally read as "convert int from s".
