I write code that uses the pool variables "Kilogram", "Joule", and
"Centimeter".  No superclass other than Object contains all classes
using these pool variables, so I should use dotted globals, not
classVariables.  I find that I often use compound units, which I
presently write as (Volt / Meter) / (Coulomb * Kilometer). These
become unwieldy if written (PhysicalUnits.Volt / PhysicalUnits.Meter)
/ (PhysicalUnits.Coulomb * PhysicalUnits.Kilometer)

So I ask, does Dan's solution allow the following?
  | u |
  u := PhysicalUnits
  (u.Volt / u.Meter) / (u.Coulomb * u.Kilometer)
