Agreed. "sp" is so wonderfully expressive. Actually, I was going to voice a complaint of that, but the ideal would overload dynamic_cast, but since it is a language keyword, that can't happen. So I can kind of see sp_ as a work-around for that. Alternatively, it could be named boost_dynamic_cast and put in the global namespace, where it can be overloaded as needed by boost. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
