I don't know what the main purpose of Boost.Geometry is... Boost.Units is intended to ensure compile-time dimensional correctness. It is probably only useful if your code is likely to have mixed use of vectors/points having different length metrics. The code posted here has no idea if the distances are in microns or furlongs and will happily mix the two without any warning.
