Improving our safety with a physical quantities and units library

Scala's squants library is a nice implementation of units-of-measure/dimensional-analysis http://www.squants.com
In particular it uses types for dimensions; whilst units are just constructors. Hence `Meters(2)` and `Microns(7)` have the same type (`Length`).
