I just wanted to point out that the reason I was interested in it is that I had been told (when it was in the sandbox, quite some time before the review) it had the potential to help me simplify tremendously my quaternion and, especially, octonion libraries, by providing a better handling of input operators. So I would say (better late than never, though perhaps it is now *too* late) that there actually *is* an interest in input facilities.
