Oh. I didn't make the connection between "actor" and "semantic action". For me, "actor" is so strongly evocative of concurrent programming that I can't read it any other way. >> How about "evaluate": >> >> proto::evaluate<char_terminal, my_actions>()(a); > > Hmmm... :P You're not loving that, either, are you? evaluate_with? with_actions? <shrug> They're all terrible. I won't bother the list any more with naming issues. Thanks to everybody who contributed ideas to the design of the-yet-to-be-named-thingie.
