[phobos] RFC: units type for D

[David Simcha]

  One comment I want to make is that, if we're going to include this, I 
have a rational number library on Scrapple that I've been meaning to put 
up for review for a while.  I noticed that you roll your own somewhat 
ad-hoc rational numbers for the units type and don't really expose them 
in any more general way.  IMHO if both rational and the units lib make 
the cut for Phobos, they should be integrated with each other.  I'll 
clean up my rational library and do a commit, since it's succumbed to 
some degree of bit rot.  It's at 
http://dsource.org/projects/scrapple/browser/trunk/rational/rational.d.
