Why does the measurement "3 metres" need to know that it is bound to the
target name "a"?
If you then did:
x = a
y = a + unit('metre')('b', 0)
what would x.name and y.name be?
And when would you need to know that?
If we're talking about associating units to measurements, surely we
don't need anything more than function call syntax or operators:
# Something like one or more of these
a = unit('metre', 3)
b = metres(3)
g = 9.8 * metres / seconds**2
for declaring units.
