What you could do is to provide an operator += specialization for stl containers and support initialization in a form:
init( C ) += ... [snip] I definitely second that.
In the very beginning it was like this. But people back then liked the "global" operator+=() :-)
Of course, there's an insert(c) in the library, but that works like insert(cont) (a)(b)(c);
I would like: insert(count) += a,b,c;
then you would like operator=() too, right?
Seems much more straightforward, and doesn't overload operator += for a containers, which I think could turn out to be dangerous.
Could you tell me what the "danger" is? Afterall, if the container happens to have operator+= it's either a compilation error or not; in the latter case you simply have two version with different semantics. br Thorsten
