Ok.  That makes Length represent "feet"
But I want Length to remain represented as an si::length, but input 
"ft" into it and convert to "ft" to print.
// static const si::length ft = ???;
typedef quantitysi::length Length;
Length x = 3.0 * ft;
cout << "x=" << convert_to_ft(x) << endl;
typedef quantityus::foot_base_unit::unit_type convert_to_ft;
