I would like to propose to add two constants to the GSL_CONST list.
#define GSL_CONST_MKS_VACUUM_PERMITTIVITY (8.854187817e-12)
/* F / m = A^2 s^4 / kg m^3 */
#define GSL_CONST_MKS_BOHR_RADIUS (0.5291772083e-10) /* m */
and in cgs
#define GSL_CONST_CGS_VACUUM_PERMITTIVITY (8.854187817e-21)
/* A^2 s^4 / g cm^3 */
#define GSL_CONST_CGS_BOHR_RADIUS (0.5291772083e-8) /* cm */
Note that the permittivity is also called the "electric
constant." Thanks for your consideration.
