I think Boost.Scope or Boost.Scoped wouldn't be bad names for a merged library (the current name Boost.Local I think is also fine).
I don't know if in English Locale and Local sound enough different, but for me there is no big difference. I will prefer a distinct name.
Well, they certainly *sound* different (they accent different syllables), but the closeness in spelling is certainly a consideration.
AFAIK, no one else has brought up this issue yet (except gmail's autocomplete).
Boost.Local is the only library this far in Boost that I have to silently pronounce in my head before I realize that it's not Boost.Locale.
Since the two libraries for a while was active on the mailing list at the same time, it did cause me some confusion in the beginning. I'm very easily confused, however, so quite possible I'm the only one seeing this as a problem :)
That said, it's absolutely no big deal, but I think it would be better if the names were not so closely named..
Do you have any preferred alternative name to Local? (or, I guess, Locale...but almost surely too late to change that!) - Jeff
