Yes the dimensional analysis is in practise simple and well known , (due to
Walter Brown, David Abrahams/AlexeiGurtovoys et al's code) and could
presumably be finalised, but it needs implementation of a compile time
rational eg boost::mpl::rational_c ( I think Cromwell Enage is working on
this?), (with some compiletime operators.),which is a 'building block' for
it.
I assume that the rational impl could then plug straight in to the mpl book
code ?
