This is my (sadly very short) AFIO review.
I vote NO (to not accept) the library into Boost as I'm not able to tell whether the library is useful and fit for Boost.
I request that this review NOT be counted as part of the review decision for these reasons: 1. The reviewer repeatedly made claims about AFIO prefixed or postfixed by the admission that he had not looked at AFIO's documentation or source code. 2. The reviewer repeatedly vocally misunderstood or failed to understand myself and other people's discussion threads in a manner which could be characterised as an attempt to spread uncertainty and doubt through deliberately mischaracterising a discussion point in a thread he had no party in. On multiple occasions even when the other party to the discussion thread corrected the reviewer's mistaken understandings, they were promptly told (as if the reviewer is some form of god) that the reviewer's interpretation is right and any other interpretation is wrong period, and end of discussion. 3. I carefully reviewed every single point and post the reviewer made as is appropriate to the reviewer's long time contributions to Boost, C++ and his stature as a current member of the Boost Steering Committee. Not once did I find a single point of substance or merit in any of the copious messages he posted, and I therefore could see no reason to reply to anything he said. I am sure that anyone reviewing the reviewer's posts will similarly find no actual content in anything the reviewer said - it was just a lot of pointless noise and a waste of everybody's time. 4. The reviewer has not contributed to any Boost review since 2012 by my reckoning until this one, despite the many reviews held since. I therefore submit that this "review" is merely the latest instance in a long sequence of harrassment by the reviewer, and is not a fair review. It should therefore not be counted as one. I genuinely do not understand what about me so infatuates him, but I wish he would stop and leave me alone.
