It seems to me that the "right" way to do this is to use some sort of 
"array-with_units" class. Then what MPL would except was a "length", and 
the user would specify what they want. i.e:

figure(figsize = units.inches((8.5,11))

rather than:

figure(figsize = (8.5, 11), units=inches)

Though this does make for more typing. With the later way, a system 
default for units could be used more easily.

I really want a unit class like this for other stuff anyway.
