+New: A uniform interface to automatically differentiable numbers that will
+be supported by the deal.II library has been implemented. A corresponding
+set of type traits classes that help query information about these numbers
+has also been implemented.

+New: Math operations for some automatically differentiable numbers have been
+extended. We also import some math functions for these number types into the 
+standard namespace. This gives full compatibility with the Tensor and
+SymmetricTensor classes, and facilitates the integration of these number types
+into existing code.
