例

円周＝ π × 半径 × 2 と算数で習う。
地球の半径は 6.378'137e+6 m と WGS84 に書いてある。
地球の赤道の長さは？

#include <boost/units/systems/si.hpp> 
#include <boost/math/constants/constants.hpp>
#include <boost/units/io.hpp>
#include <iostream>

namespace some_app
{
  using namespace boost::units;
  using namespace boost::units::si;

  using float_type = long double;
  using length_type = quantity< length, float_type >;

  /// @brief π
  constexpr auto pi = boost::math::constants::pi< float_type >();

  /// @brief 地球の半径（ref. WGS84）
  const length_type earth_equatorial_radius = 6.378'137e+6 * meters;
  
  /// @brief 地球の赤道の長さ
  const length_type earth_equator_length    = pi * earth_equatorial_radius * 2; // <-- Oops! Compile Error!!
}

int main()
{
  std::cout << some_app::earth_equator_length;
}
