Re: [boost] numeric_limits<Abstract> or how to fix 1358600?

Good idea.
What about a backdoor for those compilers?
Something like let users specialize
i_really_have_specialized_numeric_limits<T>::value
for their non-abstract polymorphic types.

Or even write a replacement for not very reliable
std::numeric_limits<T>::is_specialized
Something like
numeric_limits_is_specialized<T>::value =
#ifdef BOOST_NO_IS_ABSTRACT
i_really_have_specialized_numeric_limits<T>::value ||
#endif
!is_abstract<T>::value && std::numeric_limits<T>::is_specialized
