The idea has come up before, everyone thinks that Perl 6 and unit handling are a good fit for each other, and we're basically waiting for someone to write such a module. Incidentally, your phrase "a complication that we needn't deal with up front" is exactly why there's no pressing need to put this in Perl 6 "core" (fsvo "core"). See also the Physical::Unit example in a blog post of mine, for an example of how postfix ops can be used to mark the units: <http://strangelyconsistent.org/blog/6-builtins-in-perl-6-that-you-never-knew-you-needed> // Carl
