#8964: operator>> missing

 boost/units/io.hpp defines operator<< but not operator>>.

 As a result, dimensionful quantities can be written but not read. This is
 a serious problem.

 Why would I want to use Boost::Units in the first place? Because I'd like
 to enter dimensionful quantities into my
 program, then do some calculations, and have it output
 dimensionful quantities.

 The latter (i.e. output) works. But the former (i.e. input) is restricted
 to hardcoded parameters in my source file. If I move the data to a config
 file and try to read it, I face the problem that there is no operator>>.
