I think a lambda that selects the appropriate overload looks nicer than a function pointer cast, but that's subjective. I like the fact that you used STL to accomplish this. Generic algorithms are beautiful and underused IMO so I appreciate every problem solved in terms of existing generic algorithms. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
