Well, of course I am speaking of types such that the expression
mass x = foot/second;
a compile-time error.
IOW, for me a physical quantity would just be the bare
template< int mass, int time, int distance, /* rest of 7 SI base units */ >
class pq {
double value;
};
(add all the necessary construcors, accessors, operators, etc...; may
also be templated on the value type.)
I believe the rest of a PQ library can be created around this template.
