Just wanted to clarify something. These should convert from given quantities to the desired units?

If what you really want is a raw double, than, yes, this should work.

double unit_conversion::from_length_to_inches(quantity<length> const & L) { const quantity result_(L); return result_.value(); }

double unit_conversion::from_mass_to_pounds(quantity<mass> const & M) {

Pounds is a unit of force, not mass. To do such a conversion, you need to multiply by g.

const quantity result_(M); return result_.value(); }
