Hi MA, I like your idea and I also wonder about registering small packages. I'm actually a fan of it so I'd say go for it, but curious to know what others think.
Have you seen SIUnits.jl <https://github.com/Keno/SIUnits.jl>? It shares some similarities, but in the context of SI units, e.g. it wouldn't handle 10.75n, but it would handle 10.75nm. Cheers!
