Standard Library

Standard library in namespace cilia (instead of std to avoid naming conflicts and to allow easy parallel use).

With a Cilia variant of each standard class/concept (with CamelCase class names and camelCase function and variable names):

• cilia::String instead of std::string
• Map instead of map
  • Dictionary as alias with deprecation warning, as a hint for C# programmers.
• ForwardList instead of forward_list
• UnorderedMap instead of unordered_map
• ValueType instead of value_type
• Some exceptions/variations:
  • Array instead of vector
  • StringStream instead of stringstream
    • TextStream, ByteStream, …

Mostly a shallow wrapper, e.g. class cilia::String : public std::string { ... },
with “aliases” for:

• Member variables
  using var x = data[0]
using var y = data[1]
• Member functions
  using func pushBack = push_back

A wrapper is not strictly necessary, Cilia can access/call every C/C++ class/function without it.
But only with a wrapper do we have

• a Cilia standard library in the “idiomatic” Cilia style (i.e. CamelCase),
• whose types/classes are also used with existing C++ APIs (i.e. using Int, Int32, String and StringView instead of long / long long, int32_t, string and string_view).
