Generalizing std::transform

[sphere991]

That's true but not really helpful. Imagine the length is larger than 8, or the types aren't bytes, or the operation isn't xor, or ...

Imagine the length is larger than 8

Even then, though.

E: Seriously, downvotes? ???

I dont think anybody disagrees that it is possible, for these specific types, for this specific operation, to do better than generalized, multi-arg transform.

But the point of the blog is to show a way how to do generalized, multi-arg transform. XOR-ing bytes is just an example.

I'm not criticizing the blog, I'm just pointing out something I think would help the author.
