Hmmm... it would mean that we couldn't get away with starting with just a typedef, we'd actually have to build a basic shim class right from the start, and it would be much more of a pain in the neck for user codes to upgrade. On the other hand, if we did want to keep operator[] support around indefinitely and we end up with a target class that doesn't support it, that would mean we'd have to keep a shim class around indefinitely... *and* we'd make it much less convenient to use a different-semantic operator[] from the target class, e.g. the Blitz++ component accessor. More opinions would be welcome; I'm not even sure what I'd prefer yet. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
