Are you doing this by copying code from GSL, or is this an all-new
implementation? I'd hate to see an all-new implementation become part
of the standard; C++ has a history of wrecking things and so remarks
like this make me nervous. (For example, the complex math type has been
wrecked for half a decade, and I find it amazing that no effort has
been made to fix it or make it operate in a compatible fashion. This
is one reason I've stopped using C++ for mathematics; unfortunately,
I still have a raft of old code, and so I continue to feel the pain.)
