seems fine to me

They are somewhat related.  But indeed your library only deals with 
specific named dimensions...

perhaps: Numeric.Units.SI exports the SI units... but then it's not 
obvious what to do with the other exports (Dimensionless etc.) - 
Numeric.Units I guess?

I don't remember, is it possible for modules that import yours, to 
define arbitrary new units of their own?

Is the module's API good enough (or unlikely enough to be duplicated or 
significantly changed) to use a clean name -- or are we not supposed to 
be worrying about that because of namespace separation by package?  I'm 
a little confused here, but I think it doesn't matter if our 
infrastructure is good enough?
