Hey all, I'm *totally* not competent to judge the proposal so this is not about content but about presentation. FORCE_ORDERED_AXIS seems like a *terrible* name. (1) We are having this discussion because there is no inherent ORDER. (2) The issue is the order of 2 axes not a single axis. Would it not be possible to use a name for the constant with *LONGLAT* or *LONGITUDE_FIRST* in it instead of *ORDERED*? FORCE_LONGITUDE_FIRST_AXIS_ORDER is long but descriptive. (AXIS in this last case is singular because the word acts as an adjective.) Also, in the interests of completeness for some day where someone wants to do the opposite, do we provide the opposite hint *LATLONG* or does providing this mean that someone will use it instead of doing some "correct" approach? These are ideas, and probably not sensible ones at that since I don't understand the problem. I'm offline for the next week so this is my parting shot---you are rid of me. I hope you manage to kill this thread before I return. Good luck! ;-) --adrian |
