Hi Oliver,

First of all: thanks for the quick answer. Personally, I think that using CamelCase was a good decision, since IMHO it does looks nicer om the code than the underscores_and_lower_case approach and my impression is that most other c++ projects also use it. (But I am aware that this is pretty much a matter of taste.) Regarding the matter of STL compatibility, I would propose to make an exception for everything that needs to be compatible with STL, (which does basically boil down to "iterator", "const_iterator" and "allocator" typedefs). If it was implemented like that, the documentation should always refer to the CamelCase names IMHO. What I consider quite unfortunate in the current situation, is that most stuff is camel case, but some isn't and that even within individual ISTL classes it is inconsistent, see e.g. the ConstColIterator vs. block_type in BCRSMatrix. People like you and me just get annoyed by this occasionally, but newbies have to consult the documentation which causes
them to loose a lot of time or -- worse -- request to be supported by people like us ;)

just my 2c
Andreas
