After some interest was expressed ( http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=104904 ) for having a type that keeps track of units (e.g. seconds, feet, grams, etc.) I cleaned up my version of this. http://www.dsource.org/projects/scrapple/browser/trunk/units/si2.d http://www.dsource.org/projects/scrapple/browser/trunk/units/rational.d I'm willing to license it however is needed to get it added to Phobos (and I'll make the same offer for tango).

Is your type support fractional exponents of units?

(In reply to comment #1) > Is your type support fractional exponents of units? yes. the unittest at the bottom uses "Stress Intensity", an alias for pressue*sqrt(distance)

I have undated it to use 4 space tabs and inserted a Boost licence deceleration.

Are you still interested in doing this? Do you want to put in a DIP for it then?

Large project, will assign to bootcamp in case someone is interested.

Do we absolutely need to list every potential library addition in Bugzilla? Also there is nothing "bootcamp" about it - it's a huge project with dubious prospects of getting it into Phobos. Basically getting anything into Phobos right now is non-trivial and would rather start with a few years in DUB. TL;DR: Use DUB packages, there are even a few to pick from in the last comment.

Agreed.
