What I mean is Boost.Geometry already has adapters for point types among 
other things.
You are providing adapters for matrix vector and quaternion types.

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/examples/example__adapting_a_legacy_geometry_object_model.html

It seems like this aligns extremely closely with the adaption part of 
your library.
