Dear list entities, is there such a convention or precedent for naming an iterated binary operation? For example, Boost.Functional/Hash has an iterated hash() called hash_range(). I don't mind the "_range" suffix but I prefer the "iterated_" prefix based on the mathematical definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterated_binary_operation The case in point is gcd() in Boost.Math: we want to provide an iterated gcd but we can't quite decide how to name it. I like the "iterated_" prefix but I would rather go with whatever might be the convention. Thanks, cheers. Jeremy
