Re: [boost] SuperString v2 in the vault

Hi Jeff,

If simplicity is really the goal, then may I suggest the following:

1. remove the last template parameter (simply derive the types from boost::detail::super_string).

I suppose, but that might scare someone off from doing: template<class char_type> really_super_string : public super_string<char_type> which is a perfectly valid way to add in a few more pet algorithms in a consistent fashion.

2. rename the type boost::string and boost::wstring (an adjective like super don't sound very good IMO)

That scares me a little. Someone that happens to do a using namespace std; and using namespace boost would wind up with errors. I'm willing to entertain other names, but I'd like to avoid the conflict here. Jeff
