I guess you could generalise that...

auto area = 100*m*m;
auto velocity = 50*m/s;
const G = 6.673e-11*m*m*m*/kg/s/s;

...and even do unit conversions...

auto distance = 15*miles; /*converts to meters*/

Super duper. OK, I'm all in favor of keeping thing the way they are,
coz that's just so brilliant.
