-------------------------------------------------------+--------------------
 Currently, if the quantities are not convertible one into the other (which
 depends on the included header, etc), the error message is pretty long and
 unreadable.
 Specifically in terms of what conversion is being attempted. I suggest the
 authors consider an improved compiler error message.
