The original message is not that clear. But I think, the problem is the
compiler can not resolve teh overloaded symbol "/" to the unique operotor.
After yuou declare your ouwn operator "/", you have two profiles,
FEET, FEET -> FEET
FEET, FLOAT -> FEET
When 2.0 is used for teh second parameter, teh compiler does not know
which type it should convert 2.0 to.
You can tell whether this is true from teh compiler produced message.
: BTW, declaring your own floating point types by means of "digits" is
: far better practise than to derive from float.
I agree.
