As an aside, what's the interest level in having dimensions be  
specified by
arbitrary arithmetic types (rather than static_rational as I currently  
do)?  I'm
pretty sure I'll be able to remove the dependence on static_rational in  
the
dimensional analysis code so that any class for which these compile-time
arithmetic operations is defined would work :

static_negate<T>
static_add<T,T>
static_subtract<T,T>
static_multiply<T,T>
static_divide<T,T>
is_zero<T>
