no, I was going to find user's adl_end() function via ADL. So this changes the extension protocol to overloading adl_end() from overloading end().

So, how does that keep ADL from kicking in? It doesn't. I guess the ugly adl_ prefix might protect you from most accidental collisions, but I'd rather see something that couldn't end up being a useful acronym in some other context http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?String=exact&Acronym=adl&Find=Find adl_end seems very likely to collide. acoustic-delay-line-ly y'rs, Dave -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
