Actually it doesn't need to be a breaking change.
You can create a new polymorphic_cast.hpp in core and #include that in
cast.hpp, and move that cast.hpp (which now only contains two includes) to
numeric. Then you can deprecate cast.hpp with a pragma warning and port any
uses of it to include polymorphic_cast.hpp instead. Non breaking change.
Thanks,
Steve.
