Since free functions and static [member] functions are the same type, should we just use "free_" as the prefix and drop "free_or_static_" ?
Initially it was called "unbound". It was changed to "free_or_static" because it is more intuitive. But that "_or_" may cause confusion.
So reverting to "unbound" would be another option...
In contradiction to my statement in another branch of this thread about not having multiple tags that are interchangeable, perhaps having both "free" and "static" would be helpful. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
