"tools" including these root finding algorithms, so officially, this function is an implementation of Boost.Math
this is the best argument. Sorry I picked on your library, it was mainly an statement, on a clean case, that many boost libraries are really half-generic while they pretend to be generic.
I think this is a misunderstanding of the term "generic library." Genericity is never an absolute, and the level of generality is supposed to be driven by real, non-generic, use cases. If the designers didn't have before them a units-based use case, they couldn't be expected to design for it. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
