This does not look right. polymorpic_cast and polymotphic_downcast do not look like they belong to Numeric. They do not deal with numbers at all.
The proposal is: - move the polymorphic casts into their own header, in conversion, boost/polymorphic_cast.hpp; - move boost/cast.hpp, which is now #include <boost/implicit_cast.hpp> #include <boost/polymorphic_cast.hpp> #include <boost/numeric/conversion/cast.hpp> into numeric/conversion, pending deprecation.
Most part of the Conversion dependencies are related to the LexicalCast. Moving it into a separate module looks reasonable. It is already represented as a separate library on the website.
Everyone seems to agree on that, so what do you need to move forward with it? Will just an empty 'lexical_cast' repository be enough, or do you need me to do something else? Perhaps cloning the current contents of 'conversion' into 'lexical_cast' may be a better starting point?
