Hi Deane,
Just out of curiosity, what drove you to implement your own? Have you had a chance to try the latest versions of mcs::units? Since I'm proposing it as an official Boost library, I'd like to get as much input from prospective users at the front end as possible so, if there are reasonable use cases that it doesn't accommodate reasonably easily now, changes can be made.
I implemented mine years and years ago. Both linear and affine units. At the time, there were no template template parameters, and this made things awkward because I don't always want an underlying double (I often need a UDT) representing the number. I've been very interested in these libraries, but so far they are all too physics-centric for my taste. Also, I've been totally overwhelmed, so I haven't had the time to look at your library at all. I think I took a look at an earlier version and commented favorably on it, though. If I ever find the time, I'll take a look and comment. If you dig through the boost archives, you'll find lots of comments by me about what I'm looking for.
