Please take everything I say with a gigantic salt crystal, but I would 
want to forbid an expression like "inches * miles / furlongs". You might 
recall that I am one of the few who wants explicit unit casting.

I really should step out of this discussion. What you guys have done is 
extremely impressive, but it appears to be much more complex than 
anything I want. I just wanted to express my agreement with Zach's views.
