[trac] Type of ticket: "Bugs", "Patches", or "Feature Requests"?
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/newticket has a Type dropdown-list that has "Bugs" as default. When my report has a patch file attached, should I set the Type to "Patches" instead? If fact, the report I have in mind is mainly a performance issue. I would like boost::array::swap to internally call boost::swap, instead of std::swap_ranges, mainly because some C++03 implementations of std::swap_ranges exchange the elements by doing element-wise copy operations, even when there is a custom swap for the element type. The new boost::swap utility takes care of calling the appropriate custom swap, whenever found by argument-dependent lookup (ADL). My report will have a patch. So is the type of such a report considered a "Feature Request", a "Bug", or a "Patch"?

Honestly? No idea, all of the above maybe? :-) I think it's fine if you call this either a bug or a patch - probably the latter is the best of three - but there's not much in it, John.

Thanks! I've been told once that I was wrong when I had submitted a ticket, leaving the Type dropdown-list at "Bugs". "Patches" is also fine by me.
