Hello,

Just wanted to clarify something. These should convert from given
quantities to the desired units?

            double
unit_conversion::from_length_to_inches(quantity<length> const & L) {
                const quantity<inch_base_unit::unit_type> result_(L);
                return result_.value();
            }

            double unit_conversion::from_mass_to_pounds(quantity<mass>
const & M) {
                const quantity<ounce_base_unit::unit_type> result_(M);
                return result_.value();
            }

>From an earlier post, I think maybe so, but I was interested in expert
opinions, as well.
