Thanks both to you and Glen.

I think 'foreach' can easily be merged as the only other change, aside 
from mine, is a small documentation fix which can not affect code and 
looks right anyway.

For 'numeric_conversion' you should be able to just merge my fix since 
none of the other changes affect any of the files in my fix, and in fact 
only affect the jamfile and a single other file.

I agree with you that 'random' is pretty complicated. But should not 
some maintainer look at the possibility of merging 'random' 'develop' 
into 'master' since it has not been done for a long time now and the 
regression tests for 'random' on 'develop' look pretty good ?
