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.
