Excellent.
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?
Hi Paul! There has been a discussion with a number of more or less appropriate names or acronyms e.g. coi containers of intervals caci compact associative conainers of intervals compass compact associative containers 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) 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.
