This is why we believe that a similar abstraction with `quantity` and `quantity_point` should also prove OK. Many people claim that affine space abstraction is a mandatory feature of the units library.
Well, if the design is similar, then you can't add a quantity to
another or multiply a quantity with a quantity, you can do that only
with quantity_points.
Is that the current design?
