BTW, it occurs to me that the real reason adding a syscache is invasive
is that the syscache routines accept parameters that are integer indexes
into syscache.c's cacheinfo[] arr
Hi Brook,
It seems to me that the answer depends on how much effort you want to
put in to it.

Brook,
I have been contemplating such data type for years. I believe I have
assembled the most important parts, but I did not have time to
complete the whole thing.
The idea is that hte units of measurement can be treated as arithmetic
expressions. One can assign each of the few existing base un

Along with each data item, I must keep additional information about
the scale of measurement. Further, the relevant scales of measurement
fall into a few major families of related scales, so at least a
