That would work fine for me. But I can see why somebody who
frequently uses interactive Python as a scientific calculator would
prefer to write
if 12 m/s * 42 s == 502 m:
print('Well done!')
with the base SI repertoire (a dozen or so prefixes and 7 units) in
builtins.
Part of the argument as well, I think, is that the top expression would be
parsed as:
((12 * u.m) * 42) * u.MFr
which, if actually equal to 502*u.foo, is dumb luck.
