Bonjour
I am combining here answers two two posts, which, in unison, I think validate my point.
The possible objection to the usefulness of quaternions, for a significant portion of potential users at least, is the absence of a direct link to their favorite - and mutually incompatible - domain-specific API, leading to inefficiencies.
I wish I had a little more time to forward a more dignified response, but I sincerely hope you are not dissuaded in your work by those whom might otherwise object to fundamental mathematical objects being part of C++ or Boost for that matter. I for one, as you believe - think that we desperately need fundamental mathematical concepts/ objects enshrined in the language; there are too many of us out there needlessly reinventing the wheel when it shouldn't be. -Should I avail myself of more time (don't know when just yet, but I'll let you know when), but I would like to help you down this path if you're interested.
