[boost] [Mixin] Some comments

Hi, First of all, I want to say that I like your library too much. It is quite close to a library I was working one EntityRoleSubject. You library could be extended to to take in account the subjective programming paradigm (see below). I have some comments/remarks/questions: * I have some doubts about the name mixin. What a mixin has more than a facet or an aspect? Mixins in C++ have a specific mean in the context of CRTP. Why have you chosen the mixin name? * The construction of the mixins in the tutorial is done always with the default constructor. Can we do emplace construction? How can you ensure the invariants of some mixing classes? * The priority of the messages doens't compose well. The user needs to have a global view of the application so that it can assign the correct priority. I have not a better suggestion, but I think that this issue would need more insight. * Respect to subjective programming: it would be great to be able to create subject from an entity so that only the mixins of the subject would play when a reference to this subject is addressed. subject s (o); o.get() works as expected. o.get<Other>() compile fails if not equal to any Mix_k * The macro bm_this :( * I would like to see what is behind the scenes the different macros in an implementation section. * The entity-mixin relation is not recursive, that is, a mixin can not have associated mixins, or can them? * Can a mixin D inherit from another mixin B? Could the mixing D be retrieved when getting the mixing B? mutate(o).add<D>; o.get<B>()->f() // f been a virtual function on B? * The example of the mixin headphones_player show that the play() implementation makes use of get_sound() provided by other mixins. This dependency is not explicit. I would expect to be able to say that headphones_player depends on another mixing providing the get_sound message. That's all for now.I will come back later when i will read more. A BTW, the reference documentation doesn't contain the add<M>/get<M> mutate functions? Best, Vicente
