As a matter of fact, such conversions
work with Units since we don't do anything
fancy like caching the total conversion factor.

template<>
base_unit_converter<currency, yen, euro>
{
    typedef ... type;
    static void value()
    {
        return(lookup_currency_conversion("yen", "euro"));
    }
};
