In our case, we would also need to know the units associated with those variables. So, again using a C/C++ syntax, we could have something like: ~~~ int_metre A; double_millivolt V; bool_dimensionless T; ~~~

Variables as types: --- - Do we really want to allow generic types? I am concerned that this could lead to models that are not bullet-proof. The core of CellML can be very generic, and then secondary specifications can narrow down CellML to a subset of CellML which can
