These are my (only slightly informed) opinions. I've heard Walter
Brown talk about angle in this context, which was a big influence.

I wrote Quantity library some time ago and wonder whether it may get added
into Conversion library. If anyone gets interested I will Boostify and
submit it.
Quantity library is used to get safe conversions between different physical
units (like between Celsius and Farhernheit degrees). Instead of
