#11925 closed Feature Requests (wontfix)
using namely understandable placeholders

Description
Current situation: At the time, placeholders have rather generic names (_a,_1,_r1,...). That leads to code like this (from the error handling tutorial):
<< _4 what failed? << construct<std::string>(_3, _2) iterators to error-pos, end
This is hardly self-explanatory code.
Suggestion: change placeholder names to humanly understandable phrases, where possible.

I do not think it is a good idea to spoil the qi namespace with different aliases, but you can do it yourself if you want to.
