In C++ ,it's possible to write templates that will statically check
dimensions,i mean especially in physics,that x:=a*t^2/2; will be
compiled and x:=a*t/2 will not. And that x:=(x^3)/(x*x);will be
compiled,and x:=(x^3)/(x*x*x);will not.(i mean that it works well with
arbitrary powers)

I myself saw example,
http://www.fnal.gov/docs/working-groups/fpcltf/html/SIunits-summary.html
and also i myself saw in some forum simple dimension checker as
example.

It's possible to do something similar in Ada? Have no idea how.
