Reginald Blu #1 / 4	vector<bool> This is probably off topic, sorry. I was going to post it on comp.lang.c++, but they have no taste for off topic discussions...here, at least, there's some leeway. Anyway... I was just reading the defect reports on the standard and came across vector<bool>: http://www.--*.com/ #96 When I first read this: "No alternative had strong, wide-spread, support and every alternative had at least one "over my dead body" response." I had to laugh...except that later on they used the "over-my-dead-body" voting criterion again which made me wonder: Is this a new way to vote or something? I'm pretty sure that there's no such thing in Robert's Rules of Order...

It'll be a little hard to find consensus on vector<bool> then as it looks like at least one person has an "over-my-dead-body" vote on each of the proposals. Why oh why did someone think it was a good idea to put it in there in the first place....oh well.

James Curra #4 / 4	vector<bool> Before the committee get to the final vote, they having working session where they feel their way through issue. In these sessions, usually there are a host of options, and the voting choices are usually "Preferred", "Acceptable" or "Over My Dead Body" -- Truth, James Curran www.NJTheater.com (Professional) www.NovelTheory.com (Personal) Quote: > This is probably off topic, sorry.
