[Axiom-developer] Units and dimensions - more background to do, but now with a guide

[C Y]

Heh - just when you think you've gotten most of the useful references
for your job, you find something new.  There is an extremely useful
paper that was published last year by a group at Sun Microsystems that
seems to have followed many of the same threads I've been looking at,
and has not only interesting content but a VERY useful reference
section :-).  There's even a mention of the problem with economic
conversions in the reference review :-).
