It also does vectors though. :) It should (will) also do quaternions. Maybe something with "graphics" and "math" in the name makes more sense.
and maybe adaptor somewhere ?
I think the word "generic" fits that aspect of the library better than adaptor does.
How about GVMM (Generic Vector and Matrix Math), which could be pronounced like gum.
It started to seem to me that the word Generic used for Boost libraries has become redundant. Genericity of a library is a very important aspect being verified during reviews, so perhaps it's correct to assume all libraries accepted to Boost are generic
Not all Boost libraries are generic, or at least not all of them are examples of generic programming: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_programming.
From that point of view (Boost) LA is generic and I think that it is rather descriptive and appropriate to use that word in the name of the library.
Point taken, thanks. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot http://mateusz.loskot.net
