Hi everyone,
I would like to introduce a project I'm working on and a mechanism that emerged from the projects needs and, as far as I could feel, may be useful in a general case. By lack of words (let say), I named this Type Aspects, as an analogy to Type Traits.
A non-substantive comment: I would suggest that you use a different name for this if it goes beyond purely personal use. The reason is that there is a technology called Aspect Oriented Programming that is in widespread use and under active research and development. In general it is an extension to modularization but is usually seen as an extension to Object Oriented Programming. Many, but not all, of the concerns it addresses can be handled in C++ with generic programming, mix-ins and (for run time aspects) delegation. How about Type Axises? Seems to capture what you consider distinctive to this approach. Topher
