What do you guys think?
I'd say add "trusted" to those function names:
"trustedCall"
"trustedAddrOf"
Because:
- "call" could mean a lot of things. It's not imidiatly obvious
that it is meant for being trusted.
- "addrOf" is *also* used as an alternative for "&", especially
in generic code, when you need the address of an attribute, as
that attribute could actually be a property function. EG:
auto p = addrOf(r.front);
Nothing here implies trust.
Also, implementation wise, wouldn't it be possible to instead
make `call` a template aliases itself away to `fun`, but with
different attributes? The `auto fun(Args)(auto ref Args args)`
tube approach has the disadvantages that it:
- prevents return by ref
- fails perfect forwarding of lvalues into rvalues.
