[...] GluCat is a new numeric template class library, hopefully destined for promotion to Boost. I would like to know where there is some documentation on how to: 1. Add concepts. Is there such a thing as a non-commutative multiplication concept?
There is as soon as you write one. ;)
How do I check concepts?
You could check out the Boost.ConceptCheck library: http://www.boost.org/libs/concept_check/concept_check.htm
2. Add numeric limits. Limits of U<T> would default to limits of T.
I'm not sure about this, but I vaguely recall some discussion about a numeric limits library. I'm not sure if it's complete or what, but a search of the list archives would probably reveal something interesting.
3. Add numeric promotion_traits. What are promotion_traits?
Not entirely sure, but I suspect they tell you when you can promote say an int to a double, and things like that.
[...] Also, is there a set of documented procedures which explain what is required for a library to be included in Boost?
