I think it would be VERY BAD mistake to fix the idea of SI only in the name, when ALL units (including 'zero' units) can be handled.

"si_unit::length::in" looks plain daft.

Much as SI units are preferable, sadly, other 'traditional' units are never going to go away.

Lets keep the package as general as possible.

I agree, but unfortunately it is not general enough. See my review concerning the lack of non-power-of-10 prefixes. I think this library _should_ be a general units framework but it's not there yet. Until it gets there or there is a plan to get there, it should not be called "units." -Dave
