Millimeters in boost::units

I want to use boost::units for some SI metrics. However our code mostly deals with millimeters and instead of using

quantity<length> value = 1*milli*meter;

we would prefer something like

quantity<length> value = 1*millimeter;

However I am not sure how to define "millimeter" (without using #define).

Secondly, what is the overhead in using prefixed units?

Update: This needs to run without C++11 features (i.e. no UDL)

I am using the following approach:

// your namespace name for units
namespace outernamespace {
    namespace millimeter_system {
        typedef boost::units::scaled_base_unit<boost::units::si::meter_base_unit, boost::units::scale<10, boost::units::static_rational<-3>>> millimeter_base_unit;

        typedef boost::units::make_system<millimeter_base_unit>::type system;
        typedef boost::units::unit<boost::units::length_dimension, system> length;

        BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT(millimeter, length);
        BOOST_UNITS_STATIC_CONSTANT(millimeters, length);
    }

    typedef boost::units::quantity<millimeter_system::length> quantity_millimeter;
    using millimeter_system::millimeter;
    using millimeter_system::millimeters;
}

// demonstration of usage
void foo() {
    using namespace outernamespace;
    using namespace boost::units;
    using namespace boost::units::si;

    quantity_millimeter mm = 5 * millimeter;
    quantity<boost::units::si::length> m = 0.004 * meter;
    if (mm < static_cast<quantity_millimeter>(m)) {
        std::cout << 'lt ' << std::endl;
    }
    else {
        std::cout << 'geq ' << std::endl;
    }
}
