Oh, perhaps I'd like to ask a review extension. If Steven can reply to my concerns and is willing to address them, I might still change my vote to a yes. I really need this facility now! Bottom line: more discussion please! This is a small library, yet it is (to me) very important. Let's get the design correct.
For the record, I am changing my vote to "yes". I'm quite happy with the response to my concerns. I am very confident Steven will produce an amazing library from the very constructive discussions so far. I'm obviously very adamant in my posts, the reason being that I really need such a library now but I have certain use-cases that I need to be handled by the library, *now*, and not later in another lifetime. I can't wait for another review or another library to come along that's closer to my needs. I believe the switch_ library can, with additional thought and design, handle my needs. I also urge Steven to pursue the dynamic_switch idea I posted which employs perfect hashing at compile time whereby allowing equivalent or faster than a switch dispatch at runtime where the cases are dynamic (instead of compile time constants).
