All other dimensions, units, and systems of measurement should be treated as "localized" extensions that are built on top of this library.
The core library in boost/units/ doesn't know or care about anything in boost/units/systems/.
3. Generally speaking, the vast majority of units are converted to one another by simply multiplying the quanity by a factor. The current proposal potentially requires a separate template specicialization for each of these conversions. This type of conversion should be generalized, if at all possible, into a single generic operation.
You only have to specify the conversion for the base units. Thus to convert m^2 -> ft^2 you only need to define the conversion from meters to feet. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
