That's great news!

A bit off-topic, but I can't help to say it.
I know that writing your own library is fun, but something that I 
see quite often when looking at e.g.

https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd
https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae
https://github.com/nordlow/phobos-next

is that people love to collect and build their own ecosystem, but 
it would be a lot better if for a specific use-case there's a 
great dub package or it's part of Phobos.

mach.error.unit
-> http://code.dlang.org/packages/unit-threaded

mach.math.round
-> sounds like a feature that could be useful for everyone. How 
about making a PR to Phobos?
