I agree on being able to generate new unit types. The 'physics only' view of the world isn't very interesting to me.
That's quite funny, given that time is a physical quantity.
Well for physicists it is -- but really it isn't. Leap seconds are decided by a committee...timezones are too. One thing I agree with though, if everyone would just start using a monotonic time system life would be so much easier ;-)
With all due respect, Boost date time doesnt treat time as a physical quantity, but it is primarily a physical quantity. Time will still exist long after the committee have all died, though I suppose they might think they could stop that scenario by voting against. I guess maybe Boost Date Time doesnt put time into its proper context, because if it did then there would be a *little* more work required, and not just on input output, but as you say that part isnt very interesting to you, but its probably pretty trivial to add I guess. regards Andy Little
