Well, of course I am speaking of types such that the expression mass x = foot/second; a compile-time error. IOW, for me a physical quantity would just be the bare template< int mass, int time, int distance, /* rest of 7 SI base units */ > class pq { double value; }; (add all the necessary construcors, accessors, operators, etc...; may also be templated on the value type.) I believe the rest of a PQ library can be created around this template.
