Root finding is good for an example, but I'm slightly wary because we have 
some nice boilerplate routines in Boost.Math for that which handle all the 
corner cases etc, and I'd rather folks called those routines than cut and 
paste from a - necessarily simplified - example?

We probably have enough to be going on with: I might just add a polynomial 
evaluation example because it shows off the expression templates ability to 
eliminate temporaries very nicely! :-)

Cheers, John.
