The original comment is couched in terms of acceptance as a boost library. I'm really pushing for this as a boost library - though if someone wanted it as such I wouldn't object. Right now, my major usage for it is as sample library for the incubator. I think this comment and replies are constitute a very useful and interesting discussion. They touch on fundamental issues that would be useful to users should the decide to use or not use such a component. So I would like to see these preserved as a permanent part of the Safe Numerics web page in the library. Also, I want to run a test of the comment mechanism with a real discussion to see how it has to be adjusted to be useful in the real (boost) world. So could I ask you all to post your comments at http://rrsd.com/blincubator.com/bi_library/safe-numerics/ . This would be very helpful to me on a number of levels. This means that Andrzej should post a comment and the rest of you should reply to this comment. I realize that is is sort of pain, but, again, I would be very helpful to me to test the idea of building and maintaining a libraries comment history in an permanent convenient place.
