Is there any current efford to develop that? the fractional exponents solution has been presented in the Walter Brown´s paper. There is already a requirement set for such library? there is interest in such library?
Might I suggest that you have a look at the boost developer mailing list archives for "dimensional analysis" and/or "physical quantities"? (Or bits of those phrases, anyway.) I'm still recovering from the last discussion about a year or so ago... I still twitch when I hear "dimensional analysis" and "angle" in the same sentence. Simple answer: there were at least three approaches being talked about a while back, but all of them had perceived limitations by some. I don't think it was ever agreed what such a library should actually be capable of - which makes it rather difficult to satisfy everybody :-) My solution did/does use the MPL (now, anyway), and has fractional powers, but so did at least one of the others. I'm using it in a "proper" (real-world) project, and it does what we need. But I no longer have the time to try and put it forward here - maybe when the baby has grown up a bit :-) phil -- change name before "@" to "phil" for email
