Why specify anything at compile time when a user could reasonably
generate the value at runtime?
auto reader = file.byLine(readConfig().separator);
Yes, and for maximum abstraction, the config file should be stored as
XML in a TEXT field of a database on another server.
I just really hate to see templates when a regular function would
suffice and be so close to the same efficiency as makes no difference
for most reasonable situations. If there's a significant performance
increase, I want to see both options.
It's just a demonstration of what the OP was talking about but wasn't
explaining properly. I have no intention of writing or supporting this
code.
I think its fine if Andrei decides to write this code and uses a function
parameter instead of a template parameter, that I used a template
parameter instead of a function parameter is not a hidden suggestion.
