Shouldn't (base) units be named in singular form?

        Milligrams mass = Milligrams(20f);

I would have expected something like

```
   Mass!milligram mass = Mass!milligram(20);
```

The variable mass represents a quantity measured in baseunits (milligrams). It does not represent the base unit. I'm afraid that your design will allow the assignment of amounts of substance to variables of "type" Milligrams.
