With apologies, I haven't had a chance to get involved in this debate... but 
just to let you know that Boost.Math has a number of concept-architypes that 
can test for these and other errors: 
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_toolkit/using_udt/archetypes.html

No need to search around for possible mistakes or casts... if there is an 
"instantiate-everything" test, just throw the two real-number architypes at 
the templates and see what breaks :-)

HTH, John.
