Every time anyone points out complications or difficulties, Brian falls back to "we only care about the 7 SI units, all other uses are illegitimate." Since that is his position, he should state that in the thread. I think a LIBRARY (not syntax) that handles the real complication of units is an excellent thing. A couple do exists, but I'm sure they could be further improved.
