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
None of the users care...the point of the library isn't to treat it as a physical quantity.
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,
What is the "proper context" -- the rest of the units?
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.
I'm sure you are insulting me, luckily I'm too dumb to get it. Regardless, this conversation is now off-topic and pointless. I've made my challenge -- you guys can choose to accept it or not. Jeff
