Are you perchance > arguing for my side of this debate? No. You know how a parrot can't speak English, yet it will actually speak intelligible English. It hasn't got a clue what it's saying; it doesn't put any thought into its words -- all it does is produce sounds. Well that's how I treat keywords; I don't put any thought into them, I just treat them as a sequence of characters. I will always favour shorter keywords over longer keywords; hence I'll never write "typename T" instead of "class T". -- Frederick Gotham --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
