Re: [ggt-devel] another potential usability issue from naming

[Kevin M. <ke...@vr...>]

the semantics of all make functions are that they take input data, and 
create something.

the beauty of it is that you can insert arbitrary data (usually as long as 
we implement the funcs)

> Matrix makeTrans<Matrix>(Vec)
> Vec makeTrans<Vec>(Matrix)

and even 
Matrix makeTrans<Matrix>(Matrix)

are all ways to get data types from others.  I guess I don't see how this 
breaks any semantics.  The make functions are still object oriented in the 
sense that they are factories, or constructors of objects.

as soon as you understand this point, they should be usable.

does that clear it up?
