 Hi,

 it would be helpful if template argument identifiers like '''MATRIX''' in
 /boost/numeric/ublas/traits.hpp

 template < class '''MATRIX''' >
 struct mutable_matrix_traits
     : mutable_container_traits <'''MATRIX'''> {

     typedef typename '''MATRIX'''::iterator1  iterator1;
     typedef typename '''MATRIX'''::iterator2  iterator2;
 };

 would follow well-established c/c++ variable name conventions instead of
 that of the c preprocessor because of conflicts with exactly that. I'd
 suggest something like the following instead and would provide patches if
 favored.

 template < class '''matrix_type''' >
 struct mutable_matrix_traits
     : mutable_container_traits <'''matrix_type'''> {

     typedef typename '''matrix_type'''::iterator1  iterator1;
     typedef typename '''matrix_type'''::iterator2  iterator2;
 };

 Thanks, Jan.
