Yes, something like that: you can enter units using macros (e.g. "\second\per\metre") but also literally (e.g. "s/m"). The package is useful because at least adjusts the spacing between the value and the unit. > I'm getting the feeling that completing-read-multiple is just not the > right tool for the job.

Uh, thanks for the suggestion, but according to git blame `completion-at-point' exists since 2009, so Emacs <23 is left out.
