You asked for it! ;) I personally have no use for quaternions right
now but certainly qualify as a "numerics user".  Although my knowledge
of c++ is rudimentary (I usually have a hard time figuring out what
the discussions on boost are about ;), I do use c++ for numerical
work, mainly CFD, and would certainly be interested in "high-level
numerics" for boost.
