I agree. I had been programming in C++ for a number of years before I was 
introduced to Ada. I loved the strict typing one can do in Ada and I would 
like to have at least some of these facilities in C++ as well (since that is 
what I use every day). I will certainly check out what you've posted 
(bounded types). One thing to keep in mind as we move forward with this is 
that, IMO, we need to support as much compile-time computation as much as 
possible. One thing I am struggling with is how to support both bounded 
floating-point types, but as the same time, have a bounded types template be 
able to be used from boost::mpl for compile-time computation.
