## Adding new dimensions
## Adding new derived dimensions
In order to extend the library with custom dimensions the user has to:
1. Create a new dimension type and provide upcasting trait for it:
1. Create a new dimension type with the recipe of how to construct it from base dimensions and provide
upcasting trait for it:
```cpp
struct dimension_velocity : make_dimension_t<exp<base_dim_length, 1>, exp<base_dim_time, -1>> {};
template<> struct upcasting_traits<upcast_from<dimension_velocity>> : upcast_to<dimension_velocity> {};
```
2. Define the base unit (`std::ratio<1>`) and secondary ones and provide upcasting traits for them via:
2. Provide `quantity` class template partial specialization for new dimension and provide its base type:
```cpp
struct meter_per_second : unit<dimension_velocity, std::ratio<1>> {};
template<> struct upcasting_traits<upcast_from<meter_per_second>> : upcast_to<meter_per_second> {};
template<Unit U = struct meter_per_second, Number Rep = double>
using velocity = quantity<dimension_velocity, U, Rep>;
```
3. Define a concept that will match a new dimension:
```cpp
template<typename T>
concept Velocity = Quantity<T> && Same<typename T::dimension, dimension_velocity>;
concept Velocity = Quantity<T> && std::Same<typename T::dimension, dimension_velocity>;
```
4. Provide user-defined literals for the most important units:
4. Define the base and secondary units and provide upcasting traits for them:

struct kilometer_per_hour : derived_unit<dimension_velocity, kilometer, hour> {};
template<> struct upcasting_traits<upcast_from<kilometer_per_hour>> : upcast_to<kilometer_per_hour> {};
```
5. Provide user-defined literals for the most important units:

inline namespace literals {
