Worse than what?
That's precisely what I wondered when I read his reply. Unless I missed something, Thomas has yet to offer an alternative, yet uses comparative language. It's easy to decry the real in light of the unspoken ideal.
That being said, I'll stop complaining now and we'll see what time will tell. It might well prove me wrong.
I'd rather hear some real suggestions ;-)
Yes. If there are alternatives that have been forgotten or that can be presented for consideration, we need to hear about them. Both Boost.Range and Boost.Iostream will benefit. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
