Re: [boost] units: review

I forgot one additional comment... for clarity, I would recommend 
eliminating the duplicate unit names (SI::meter, SI::meters, SI::metre, 
SI::metres, etc). For one thing, to maintain consistency, users might 
then feel obligated to do this in their own unit systems as well. I 
think it makes more sense to just pick a convention and stick with it, 
especially for the singular vs plural, which is really just a matter of 
taste, and users will learn to deal with whichever one the library 
writers pick :-). As for the alternate spellings, I guess if that's a 
political issue they could stay, but the plurals definitely seem 
gratuitous to me.
