/**
* @brief A dimension of a base quantity
*
* Base quantity is a quantity in a conventionally chosen subset of a given system of quantities, where no quantity
* in the subset can be expressed in terms of the other quantities within that subset. They are referred to as
* being mutually independent since a base quantity cannot be expressed as a product of powers of the other base
* quantities.
*
* Base unit is a measurement unit that is adopted by convention for a base quantity in a specific system of units.
*
* Pair of Symbol and Unit template parameters form an unique identifier of the base dimension. The same identifiers can
* be multiplied and divided which will result with an adjustment of its factor in an Exponent of a DerivedDimension
* (in case of zero the dimension will be simplified and removed from further analysis of current expresion). In case
* the Symbol is the same but the Unit differs (i.e. mixing SI and CGS length), there is no automatic simplification but
* is possible to force it with a quantity_cast.
*
* @tparam Symbol an unique identifier of the base dimension used to provide dimensional analysis support
* @tparam U a base unit to be used for this base dimension
