Hello All,
Boost.Fit is a function utility library, however, the name currently doesn't have anything with this. I originally chose the name because it started with F(for function) and it was short and sounded nice. However, there could be some names(or abbreviations) that more adequately describe the library. Here are some alternatives that are short:
- Boost.FP - Boost.FPL - Boost.Fun - Boost.FN
Of course, I prefer the Boost.FN name. Names like Boost.FP or Boost.FPL could imply that it provides full functional constructs whereas Boost.Fit does not and is mainly focused on functions.
Either way, this is something reviewers could consider as they review

Hi,
Paul if the scope of the library is high order function I propose to rename it to Boost.HighOrderFunctions. We could use boost::hof as name space and boost/hof/ as folder.
The adaptors and decorators are HOFs, and the other functions are used to help when using HOFs, so it does make sense to name it Boost.HighOrderFunctions. I like this name.
Best, Vicente
