Alternatively I could even see putting all the operator traits in their own namespace of 'boost::operators', dropping the 'operator_' in their name, and allowing the end-user to surface them to just the 'boost' namespace via a using declaration as they like. But then again, I am a very strong supporter of namespaces and allowing the end-user to expose what they want from namespaces via 'using'.
The problem, of course, is when you need them in a header, where using declarations cannot be scoped. This makes Boost.Multi-index a bit unwieldly, for example. I really don't mind if it gets spelled with namespaces instead of underscores, but a using declaration is not a motivation for it. -- Nevin ":-)" Liber <mailto:nevin@eviloverlord.com> (847) 691-1404
