Hi folks working on stats. I noticed a lot of changes recently related to
stats and units, and while I haven't been paying that close attention to
it, it at least sounds like a pretty good idea, so go for it.

One thing I noticed though, was that there are some stats which are derived
from other stats (formula stats I think). These specify how they're
computed by overloading operators on other stats, so if a stat should
computed as the value of stat A divided by the value of stat B, you'd set
it to be A / B. Then in addition to that, the units are also separately
computed the same way, by saying, for instance, bytes / seconds. If stat A
already has units bytes, and stat B already has units seconds, why don't we
just figure out the units of A / B as bytes / seconds without having to
specify it again? That would simplify writing out stats, and reduce the
likelihood of errors.

Just a thought.
