Topic: Boost:interval becoming standard?

I'm vaguely aware that many portions of the Boost library are candidates
for the '0x C++ standard. Is the Boost interval arithmetic library in
that pipeline? It is my hope that it is not because making such an
incomplete library a standard begs for headaches shortly thereafter.

I think you are confusing the Library Technical Report (TR), which is to
be published shortly, with the next version of the standard, which is
still a long way off.
<http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/library_technical_report.html>
lists the accepted proposals for the TR, which do not include an
interval arithmetic library.

It looks like you are correct.
