concept DigitalInformation = units::QuantityOf<T, digital_information>;
```
4. If non-SI prefixes should be applied to the unit symbol, define a new prefix tag and provide
`prefix_symbol` specializations to provide their text representation:
4. If non-SI prefixes should be applied to the unit symbol, define a new prefix tag and define
new prefixes using this tag and provide their ratio and symbol:
```cpp
struct data_prefix;
template<> inline constexpr std::string_view units::prefix_symbol<data_prefix, units::ratio< 1'024>> = "Ki";
template<> inline constexpr std::string_view units::prefix_symbol<data_prefix, units::ratio<1'048'576>> = "Mi";
struct kibi : units::prefix<kibi, data_prefix, units::ratio< 1'024>, "Ki"> {};
struct mebi : units::prefix<mebi, data_prefix, units::ratio<1'048'576>, "Mi"> {};
```
5. Define units and register them to a downcasting facility:
```cpp
struct bit : units::coherent_derived_unit<bit, "b", digital_information, data_prefix> {};
struct kilobit : units::prefixed_derived_unit<kilobit, kibi, bit> {};
struct byte : units::derived_unit<byte, "B", digital_information, units::ratio<8>> {};
struct kilobyte : units::prefixed_derived_unit<kilobyte, kibi, byte> {};
```
6. Provide user-defined literals for the most important units:
