As an FYI, I plan to make a pass through the library, standardizing on a
set (arbitrarily large) of names to use in template parameters.
One of the obstacles to easily using the doxygen docs (HTML or man pages,
or probably any other format) is that the templates are just damned ugly
to read. For one thing, HTML just wasn't designed to make underscores
look nice. After being constrained to use those names for years, we don't
think of it, but new users run screaming. (And send me email, complaining.)
Using a known set of template names will let me run a filter prepass inside
doxygen, stripping the leading underscores where appropriate.
