#3660: Using units prefix dynamically to get the appropriate   prefix for the size
of the value

Milestone:  Boost 1.42.0          |   Component:  units          
  Version:  Boost 1.41.0          |    Severity:  Optimization   
 Keywords:  units prefix dynamic  |  
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 I'd like to use the units library prefix (k, M, G ...) system, but I'd
 really like to determine the prefix dynamically (automatically) depending
 on the value.

 For example, if I have a length of 12300 m I'd like an output of "12.3 km"
 but if my length is 0.0123 m, I'd like an output of "12.3 mm".
