I may be wrong, but in order to avoid any excess loss of precision you have to store a set of all the base units and track the actual unit at runtime involving a merge with every multiplyor divide. This kind of overhead is not always acceptable.
I don't understand what you are saying.
At any rate, there are ways to solve the whole thing regardless. The question is, what is the use of a library that only does static conversions.
As has been stated many times conversions are not the primary point of the library.
I've never seen that stated. I don't believe it either. If conversions are not the point of the library than why is a very significant portion of the library dealing with units and conversions?
