This is quite neat, and works for me using MSVC 7.0 but:
1 The layout is screwed up by the mail attachment process and requires some
editing to avoid compile errors.
2 The filename formatlist.hpp might be better?
3 Requires language extensions enabled.
Compiling...
testFomatList.cpp
testFomatList.cpp(38) : warning C4239: nonstandard extension used : 'argument' :

ForwardIterator=std::vector<int,std::allocator<int>>::iterator

testFomatList.cpp
testFomatList.cpp(38) : error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes
a right-hand operand of type 'stl::formatlist_t<ForwardIterator>' (or there is

FormatList - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
for the line
// default list: "[ i1, i2, ..., in ]"
std::cout << "list = " << stl::formatlist( v ) << '\n';
I suspect this can be cured to make it more Standard and more portable?
4 I haven't tried with the all important 3 and more dimensions like matrixes.
5 Many more examples and documentation desirable, of course. My slightly
longer test file attached. (Last example might suit input to a spreadsheet using
tab as a separator?)
and finally a nit - Separator is wrongly spelled.
