/// Reduce dimension list to cardinal form. This algorithm collapses duplicate
/// base dimension tags and sorts the resulting list by the tag ordinal value.
/// Dimension lists that resolve to the same dimension are guaranteed to be  
/// represented by an identical type.
///
/// The argument should be an MPL forward sequence containing instances
/// of the @c dim template.
///
/// The result is also an MPL forward sequence.  It also supports the
/// following metafunctions to allow use as a dimension.
///
///    - @c mpl::plus is defined only on two equal dimensions and returns the argument unchanged.
///    - @c mpl::minus is defined only for two equal dimensions and returns the argument unchanged.
///    - @c mpl::negate will return its argument unchanged.
///    - @c mpl::times is defined for any dimensions and adds corresponding exponents.
///    - @c mpl::divides is defined for any dimensions and subtracts the exponents of the
///         right had argument from the corresponding exponents of the left had argument.
///         Missing base dimension tags are assumed to have an exponent of zero.
///    - @c static_power takes a dimension and a static_rational and multiplies all
///         the exponents of the dimension by the static_rational.
///    - @c static_root takes a dimension and a static_rational and divides all
///         the exponents of the dimension by the static_rational.
