Request: Arbitrary "Units"

[DissonantSynth]

I please want to request the addition of "unit" or "units" as a recognised and valid unit, to use in cases where measurements are arbitrary or the units unspecified.

In other words, I want to be able to write something like the following:
Qty('2 units').mul('5 units') and get 10 units^2

For context, I am a user of NUMBAS (by Newcastle University), which makes us of js-quantities, and this feature would be very useful to me.

Thank you kindly for your consideration.

You would still have to write the definition of this unit: kind (signature), base scalar...

Thank you for the reply and for the info, and sorry if my post was ignorant.

Looking at the file you linked, I assume you mean something like this:
"<unit>" : [["unit","units"], 1.0, "measurement", ["<unit>"]]

Although, I see this would possibly conflict with an existing unit entry:

Perhaps instead of just "unit", it should rather be "arbitrary unit" or "unspecified unit".
