|  I prefer shorter names. Test module name is equivalent for 
| the master test suite name.

OK, but will it allow one to NAME the master test suite?

Paul

PS Talking of names I don't really like

BOOST_CHECK_SMALL 

and IMO it should be BOOST_CHECK_SMALLER

(only 2 letters longer ;¬)

because it is really an absolute less_than function (MACRO).

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  EVERYONE : <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Is anyone actually using this function yet????

Could we change its name without distress?
