Because people want to use different types. For example, some systems may support higher precision for long double.

I think you have a good point on this one... The trick is to find a way to do it that keeps the client syntax as simple.

I think most boost users are pretty much power-users (for better or worse).

Sure, so I guess the question is more like this: If we accept the premise that the intended users of the toolkit aren't power users, then does it make sense for boost to include? I think you have a valid point that maybe it's not appropriate for boost. But at the same time, I figured that since it's built so directly off of boost, it might be helpful. Then again, maybe the best place for the equation toolkit is in a different toolkit bundle...? --Steve
