It's used for implementation details, to keep them separate from the intended public interface. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com The Astoria Seminar ==> http://www.astoriaseminar.com
In my mind, it is probably a widely used technic, but not standard, to hide unnecessary internal details of a lib to the users, to achieve a better encapsulation.
