[Boost-users] [units] "Simple" conversion from Kelvin to Celsius

Hello,

It's been a couple of years since I've done any work with Boost.Units,
and I am finding that I want to make a dimensionally-safe conversion
from Kelvin to Celsius.

I've got an I2C controller that reports in Kelvin, but I want to
report it to the end-user in Celsius.

The examples I am finding seem to "almost" fit the bill, but I am
having a difficult time extrapolating a sane conversion.

First, would help if I understood what the Boost.Units SI (my assumed
base-system) base-temperature units were. I gather Fahrenheit? Or is
it indeed Kelvin? I could be mistaken.

Thank you...

Regards,

Michael Powell
