Hi,
So the main reason against providing generic wrapper to suit both our problems is that probably it won't be so efficient in cases where you just need to extend double/float exponent.
I have not taken my time to think about the overhead of your problem in depth. I'd simply expect, that you know that area better. From my current point of view I think, that the efficiency issue chould be solved with specializations for base 2. Is there a place, where I can read your code to see, how you have implemented that?
P.S.: Since I am rather new here, can someone please send me a link, where I can teach myself about the boost development process?
I would suggest those links as a good start: http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html http://www.boost.org/development/submissions.html
