[Numpy-discussion] NEP 42 and physical unit DType

NEP 42 mentions physical units as a possible use case for the new DType. Having worked on `unyt`, which is an ndarray subclass, and other unit system implementations based on the dispatch mechanism, I am quite familiar with the challenges. One challenge is integration with Matplotlib that has a uni

>From the Matplotlib side we can definitely do dispatch based on the dtype of the ndarray (not just that it is an array) which is how we handle arrays of datetimes. Matplotlib should (internally) never try to do operations on user data before we do the unit conversion and my default position is th
