This unit, though commonly referred to as a "metric ton" (to be consistent with "short ton" and "long ton") in the US; the actual spelling of the unit (and what the majority of the world will call it) is "tonne".
As this library doesn't support std::istream, but does support std::ostream and this naming only will appear if requested; would it be possible to add an alias name (presuming some idiot is actually relying on the literally "metric_ton" and/or "metric_tons", rather than the unit or tag).
Alternatively, adding preprocessor macros around this and potentially other units.
USE_INTERNATIONAL_SPELLING; which would use "tonne" and if disabled, use "metric ton" ... or equivalent. (defaulting to undefined, for the above compatibility)
You have the metric unit equal to 1000 kg labelled as "metric ton".
