It is allowed to only covert between various origins defined in terms of the same
`absolute_point_origin`. Even if it is possible to express the same _point_ as a _vector_
from another `absolute_point_origin`, the **mp-units** library will not allow it, and
a custom user-defined conversion function will be needed to provide such a functionality.
Said otherwise, in the **mp-units** library, there is no way to spell how two distinct
`absolute_point_origin` types relate to each other.

Let's assume we are going to attend the CppCon conference that is hosted in Aurora, CO, and we
want to estimate the distance we are going to travel. We have to take a taxi to a local airport, fly to
DEN airport with a stopover in FRA, and in the end, get a taxi to the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention

Notice that while stacking point origins we can use not only different representation types but
also different units for an origin and a _point_.
