Implicit conversion is not allowed, and default value type is double -
try :
quantity<data_capacity> compressed_size(1000.0*bytes);
quantity<data_capacity,int> compressed_size2(1000*bytes);

If I remember correctly, this stems from the use of double precision
in the conversion code. I think it would be difficult to get rid of
this - most computations involving unit conversions do not involve
exact integer arithmetic...
