[boost] Re: [string algorithms] feature request - case-insensitive less

But I think, that predicate classes should be placed elsewhere, maybe closer to map/set implementation.

What about predicate classes for equals, starts_with etc so you can use them with standard algorithms without specifying all template arguments. Something like: struct istarts_with_pred { template<typename T1, typename T2> bool operator()(const T1& arg1, const T2& arg2) const { return boost::istarts_with(arg1, arg2); } }; std::find_if(vectorofstrings.begin(), vectorofstrings.end(), bind<bool> (istarts_with_pred(), _1, "prefix")) Also, will 1.32 be the last version where string_algo works with VC70?
