I must admit that both the ouput format and the quantity typedef names, I frankly havent done much work on, beyond getting something that works. I would welcome help from anyone regarding writing a specification in both areas.
In the output area one think lacking is going beyond ASCII. It would be nice to output Ohms as Ω rather than R for example. Any help with that would be appreciated too. I dont really know where to start with that.
Why not facets pqs_put, pqs_get, pqs_punct pqs_punct could contain members like virtual string multiplication() const { return ""; } virtual string division() const { return "/"; } virtual string power() const { return "^"; } virtual string greeksymbol(some enum) const { ... } If you want to use other separators or symbols, just create your own pqs_facet. If you want to format the units in a completly different way (e.g. multiple lines), create your own pqs_put facet.
