Boost C++ Libraries

...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the world. — Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards

TODO list for the Interval Arithmetic library

It would be nice to have a 100% portable Rouding policy class based on LIA-1 only, with no additional requirement such as IEEE 754 or even more.
For pi and other constants, we should fetch them from the Math constants library when it is ready.

Support the -mfpmath=sse option of g++ for Pentium IV optimized code. This requires a different rounding policy class.
Have an optimized specialization of interval<double> using SSE2 instructions? Tricky.
Write a traits specialization for interval<MPFR>, and other non-built-in number types.
Have a robust implementation of transcendental functions over the built-in floating point types (e.g. using MPFR)?
Safe conversions from interval<double> to interval<float>? Requires partial specialization.
It would be nice to use the expression template mecanism to automatically use the more efficient unprotected rounding mode version for small subexpressions (although you can do bigger expressions by hand).
