12765	Provide heterogeneous lookup methods using the container's hasher and/or comparator functions	fdegros@…	Ion Gaztañaga	"Boost intrusive containers have heterogeneous lookup methods taking a key of an arbitrary type. All these methods also require to pass a hasher and/or a comparison function dealing with this key type. But what if the hasher/comparator embedded in the container itself can already deal with these key type? I'd like to avoid passing to these methods a function that the container already knows about.

Consider adding heterogeneous lookup methods using the hasher and/or comparator already stored in the container.

Like std::set or std::map, you might want to enable these methods only if the hasher and comparator declare a {{{is_transparent}}} nested type. See http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/map/find.

Something like:

{{{
template <typename T, class... Options> 
class set {
 public:
  ...

  template <typename K, typename = key_compare::is_transparent> 
  iterator find(const K& key) { return find(key, key_comp()); }
  ...
};
}}}

That would make these heterogeneous lookup methods more convenient to use."	Feature Requests	new	To Be Determined	intrusive	Boost 1.63.0	Optimization			fdegros@…
