Is there a compelling reason to omit the second underline?
I don't think there's a /compelling/ reason, but here's my thought process:
* This isn't an algorithm, so I don't want to evoke std::for_each. * It's like a new keyword, and some other languages have "foreach" as a keyword.
Anyway, I'm not married to the name, and I'd gladly change it if people preferred to type an extra underscore. :-)
I prefer as few underscores as possible without inventing new abbreviations. Since "foreach" is an established keyword, I prefer BOOST_FOREACH to BOOST_FOR_EACH. For people who really want the second underscore, you can assure them that it is added automatically behind the scenes to save them the extra typing ;-) Jonathan
