look like they belong to Numeric. They do not deal with numbers at all.

The proposal is:

- move the polymorphic casts into their own header, in conversion, boost/polymorphic_cast.hpp; - move boost/cast.hpp, which is now

#include #include #include

into numeric/conversion, pending deprecation.

This looks reasonable.

BTW what about the new Conversion library (was it accepted?)? If it was accepted, then it will add a lot of dependencies and it would be better to separate it from the old conversion library.

The new library, called Convert ( not Conversion ), was accepted.
