RE: [boost] Any Interst in Dimentional Anaysis

I think this is definitely a very important facility,
but should it also be tied up with input and output of units,
including SI units?

So we can read files like:

teabag 1 (dimensionsless item!?!)
sugar 1 teaspoon
milk 1 tablespoon
water at 100 degrees Celsius 250 ml
...

I have some code which tries to do this - but it gets jolly complicated!
