Dear Robert,

The code (header only), tests and docs are done.
The library also includes facets for portable handling of infinities and nans in text streams.
The library is available in the vault: Math - Numerics / floating_point_utilities_v2.zip.
It has been submitted for a review.
All that is needed now is a review manager.

Please take a look at the library Robert.
I'd be happy to hear what you think.
