GNU Units
Anything with a finite (200 is small even) number of units misses the algebraic structure of the problem mentioned in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36988497 wherein multiplying|dividing two things gives you a (potentially) new unit which implies an open ended "space" of units.
To be concrete (hah!), in C++ a template meta-type with 12 signed integer parameters (6 numerators & 6 denominators for rational exponents of SI base units) might be one way to model it.
Unlike C++ template stuff, Nim macros (like Lisp macros) makes metaprogramming more like procedural programming - just against abstract syntax trees. I think that helps to shield some of this type complexity from users, but the documentation README https://github.com/SciNim/Unchained does better job than I can in an HN comment.
Of course, for unit system conversion, the number of dimensions (6 in SI, 3 in CGS/Gaussian) changes. So, for full generality you need compile-time (if you want static type integration/CT errors) linear algebra over a rational field (at least & conventionally) to project|inverse project. That might be theoretically possible in C++. I would think it very un-fun and unlikely to ever have been done. There's probably a Mathematica package, though.
Units of measure are, of course, the aboriginal type system for pre-software hand calculation.. carrying units along to make sure you do not add apples to oranges { unless you know how to convert "apples" to "oranges" for some adapted metaphorical fruits.. :-) }.
Nim has sufficient compile-time strength that units can be integrated with the type system: https://github.com/SciNim/Unchained

Atlas, a (hopefully) better engineering IDE
I've recently written a units library for Nim [0]. It's still WIP, but it's already proven extremely useful for me as a physicist.
Thanks to Nim's strong type system and metaprogramming features, it allows for a fully compile time design, without any runtime overhead (in form of special unit objects or such things; everything is a `distinct float`).
In addition Nim's unicode support, the code even looks nice!
A more complex use case (I can link more if desired): [1]
