I uploaded the example to the files section, please have a look. As you
will see, I had to modify your operator* in mul_scalar.hpp, of course the
other operators need to be aware of the constant library as well. I think
this is no problem when we agree that the constant library is a
prerequisit of your unit library ;) Honestly, I think we have to think
about this, as I am not yet sure whether we can find some general rules
that everyone can follow to make arbitrary libraries compatible and
independent of each other. Thoughts?
