Seems like a classic case for explicit constructors. I actually thought about this but didn't mention in my posting. I'm perfectly fine with using them, so if you really need the conversion from double you can write (you do; to avoid a chicken-and-egg problem!): const length meter(1); force f = 10; would then be illegal.
