A bit of background for the unified C++ call proposal

I'm going to have to pose an educated disagreement.

According to the classic C++ article, "What's in a class?" by Herb Sutter (http://www.gotw.ca/publications/mill02.htm) -

The Interface Principle suggests -

For a class X, all functions, including free functions, that both (a) "mention" X, and (b) are "supplied with" X are logically part of X, because they form part of the interface of X.

So yes, f(x) is part of x's interface in C++, and has been considered to be so for a long time.

"I'm going to have to pose an educated disagreement."

A little awkward to read in response to my comment.

An educated disagreement to what? I guess you are disagreeing with their argument? I agree with your comment.

Or maybe it's a disagreement with what I think their argument is? This is why I am asking. :)
