* @brief Converts user provided derived dimension specification into a valid units::derived_dimension_base definition
*
* User provided definition of a derived dimension may contain the same base dimension repeated more than once on the
* list possibly hidden in other derived units provided by the user. The process here should:
* 1. Extract derived dimensions into exponents of base dimensions.
* 2. Sort the exponents so the same dimensions are placed next to each other.
* 3. Consolidate contiguous range of exponents of the same base dimensions to a one (or possibly zero) exponent for
* this base dimension.

/**
* @brief The list of exponents of dimensions (both base and derived) provided by the user
*
* This is the user's interface to create derived dimensions. Exponents list can contain powers of factors of both
* base and derived dimensions. This is called a "recipe" of the dimension and among others is used to print
* unnamed coherent units of this dimension.
*
* Coherent unit is a unit that, for a given system of quantities and for a chosen set of base units, is a product
* of powers of base units with no other proportionality factor than one.
*
* The implementation is responsible for unpacking all of the dimensions into a list containing only base dimensions
* and their factors and putting them to derived_dimension_base class template.
*
* Sometimes units of equivalent quantities in different systems of units do not share the same reference so they
* cannot be easily converted to each other. An example can be a pressure for which a coherent unit in SI is pascal
* and in CGS barye. Those two units are not directly related with each other with some ratio. As they both are
* coherent units of their dimensions, the ratio between them is directly determined by the ratios of base units
* defined in base dimensions end their exponents in the derived dimension recipe. To provide interoperability of
* such quantities of different systems base_units_ratio is being used. The result of the division of two
* base_units_ratio of two quantities of equivalent dimensions in two different systems gives a ratio between their
* coherent units. Alternatively, the user would always have to directly define a barye in terms of pascal or vice
* versa.
*
* @tparam Child inherited class type used by the downcasting facility (CRTP Idiom)
* @tparam U a coherent unit of a derived dimension
* @tparam Es the list of exponents of ingredient dimensions
