Last but not least people suggested to change the name of the library as having the word template in the name does not carry any useful information. Joachim already agreed to this.
But did I miss discussion (or a conclusion) about what it *should* be called?
We already have Boost.Interval which handles interval arithmetic, so it can't be that.
So is this going to be called Boost.Intervals (sniffs ;-) or what?
Currently I tend to use the name that has been used for the objects of the library already by various people including myself because it is kind of "natural":
Boost.IntervalContainer (library name) boost::interval_container (namespace)
FWIW both look OK to me. Clarity is better than curtness.
Because I hate long namespace identifiers, I think I will use a kind of standard namespace alias namespace icl = boost::interval_container; so that 'itl' can be replaced by 'icl' without spoiling the current program code.
(not quite sure you need the final 'l', but it's the users choice of shorthand). Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal, UK LA8 8AB +44 1539 561830, mobile +44 7714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
