Acknowledgements

The author would like to thank his wife Mary for her patience and support during the long process of converting this from a piece of C code to a template library.
The author would also like to thank Phil Endecott and Frank Gennari for the improvements they've suggested and for testing. Without them this would have taken longer to develop or performed worse.
float_mem_cast was fixed to be safe and fast thanks to Scott McMurray. That fix was critical for a high-performance cross-platform float_sort.
Thanks also for multiple helpful suggestions provided by Steven Watanabe, Edouard Alligand, and others.
Initial documentation was refactored to use Quickbook by Paul A. Bristow.
