I tested this, but feel is is not the most elegant way. The unit part shows
up as 1/d, 1/wk, 1/mo (for /day, /week & /month respectively). While
recording values you have to select a number and one of the units. So if I
have to record 5/week, the composition will have magnitude as '5' and unit
as '1/wk'. The UI will need to do some manipulation/mapping to present an
elegant view to the user (1/wk >/week).
A more elegant method would be a ability to mark units as /d, /wk, /mo etc.
