1) replace as much QuantLib:Date implementation as possible using
Boost, preserving backward compatibility and Excel date number
compatibility
2) extend discrete (integer) Date to continuous (decimal) Date, again
preserving backward compatibility and Excel date number compatibility
3) finally if the QuantLib wrapper layer is thin enough support me in
lobbying for getting rid of QuantLib::Date in a backward incompatible
QuantLib 2.0 :-)
Similar approaches could be used for math (especially distributions),
random numbers, and any other area where Boost and QuantLib overlap.
The black-belt developer might even try to replace QuantLib
Observer/Observable with Boost signals/slots, and maybe replace the
other patterns with Loki
Rest assured we'll pay due credit even if you just remove code
resulting in few source files with your name in it :-)
