Speaking of currency however, that is another completely different
problem as conversions between units of currency are dynamic rather
than fixed like all units of physical measurement.  Conversions for
such units can only be done at runtime.
Eric.
As a matter of fact, such conversions
work with Units since we don't do anything
fancy like caching the total conversion factor.

template<>
base_unit_converter<currency, yen, euro>
{
    typedef ... type;
    static void value()
    {
        return(lookup_currency_conversion("yen", "euro"));
    }
};
