I hadn't heard of MPL.Math before...

I was actually looking for a way the other day of computing a 
fixed-point sin lookup table at compile-time using Taylor series 
approximation for a fixed-point class I have templated on magnitude and 
fractional bit count.  I ended up getting lost and wrote a small program 
to generate a table and copy & pasted the output into a source file for 
the fixed-point precision I was using at present.

It seems that it would be nice to be able to generate a new table for 
say 8.24 fixed-point without needed to rerun an external tool.

Does this seem like the sort of thing MPL.Math could help with?

Thanks,
