Do you have any plans to submit this for review? We already have the  
functionality in the upcoming Boost.Units library, but it would be  
nice for symmetry to have all the metamath be supported through MPL  
rather than having to mix mpl::negate/adds/subtracts/multiplies/ 
divides with our own metafunctions for unary_plus/pow/root... I  
certainly think it would be nice to have support for these in Boost  
itself. Unfortunately, since this would be used within the library  
itself, we're constrained to use only other Boost libraries...
