> you think you need to study abstract algebra to understand what a monoid is?
No no no. My whole point is that while the concept is not complicated, that particular term ("monoid") simply isn't common.
I agree with your edit section though. And I don't necessarily think C++ shouldn't adopt the term 'monoid' due to its relative obscurity (especially if no better term can be found); I just think it's got some figurative points against it for that reason.
