There has been some discussion previously on this list for a ranged type. My personal desire was to have new double types in the ranges [0.0, 1.0) and [0.0, 1.0] among other things. There are several other uses that I can imagine. Feel free to rip this apart or do whatever you want.
Did you see this post?

Very similar to yours, but policy class also allows for customization of the error handling. So instead of forcing an assert you can throw an exception, ignore it, log it, whatever.
Embarassingly enough, I looked at it briefly, then I jumped to the mistaken conclusion that it couldn't handle doubles so I rolled my own. After rereading it I realized you have a very elegant piece of code there!
We've had several discussions of a uses for these constrained types. Perhaps you (or someone else) should boostify it?
