Unfortunately (?) I personally have no need for quaternions in my work, but
I am very interested in seeing boost grow to include high-level numerics. As
far as I'm concerned, such a library would be most welcome, though we might
find it hard to come up with qualified reviewers. So far, I think our active
participants have not inlcuded many numerics experts or even heavy numerics
users, though I'd love to be proven wrong by a flood posts to the contrary.
