I've not used the GSL: would it benefit in either usability (*) or 
efficiency if it used C++ templates/objects? If so I wonder if the GSL 
authors would be open to a dual, boost-compatible license so that a boost 
library could borrow code as it needed to, rather than having to re-invent 
the wheel.
