Spending some time on this makes me appreciate what an incredibly ambitious accomplishment this is. It's really unbelievable. I would be curious how frequently various parts of the package are used.
Aren't we all ;)
Nope - I've advocated on multiple occasions for a boost effort to determine frequency of library use, libraries desired by the user community, etc. This would give us an idea what kinds of projects we should promote via GSOC, C++Now talks, etc and which projects we might consider deprecating etc. But These efforts have always resulted in push back from a large number of people who think this is a bad idea or wast of time. I personally fail to understand this. I'm still thinking about this. Having spent more time with multi-precision, I'm only now aware of the (sort of) overlap with some aspects of safe numerics. This opens up a whole new can of worms in my brain. Robert Ramey
