Comment (by Roger Leigh <rleigh@…>):

 Hi Steven,

 I have attached an example file to demonstrate the problem.  Uncomment the
 comments to get my workaround for getting it to compile and function,
 though I don't really like this.

 I'm not using base_unit_info directly; I'm using name_string and
 symbol_string from io.hpp, and these are failing with absolute units.  I
 assumed these should work with all unit types for output, rather than
 being limited to base units.

 Kind regards,
 Roger
