| Subject: Re: [boost] Interest in dimension/unit-checking library?
Perhaps I can just add that there was a significant feeling that a
'meta-units' system that allowed 'User Defined Units' - from which could be
created the familiar SI units system, but would also allow more unusual
units systems, for example used by the finance world, or really weird like
non-relativistic.
The ultimate dimension/unit-checking library?
We are waiting out to find out if this is possible, which seems likely - and
practicable in compile speed, which is less certain.
