Sounds good! I think for `AngularAcceleration` you could probably leave out revolutions per minute entirely - doesn't seem clear whether the corresponding acceleration unit would be revolutions per minute per...

Intriguing! The bits/bytes thing is definitely a bit tricky, might ponder that for a while. What would be the name of the module? Might be cleanest to have separate `Bits`...

Hmm right, good point, I clearly didn't think that one all the way through! Can you think of a name for a single module that would work and be unlikely...

Unfortunately `Bytes` _kinda_ conflicts with https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/bytes/latest/ 🙂

(which I should have thought of when I proposed it originally...)

It occurs to me we might be able to be 'cheat' a bit by exploiting the fact that 1000 is evenly divisible by 8, which means that an integer number...

Hmm yeah, I guess with binary file/network formats it would be pretty common to need to offset things by an integer numbers of bits. Back to the drawing board...

One more thought: even with the ability to specify an integer number of bits, something like ```elm BinarySize.bits 12345 |> Quantity.per Duration.second ``` would still give you you a `Quantity...

Could potentially do that but I don't think it would really help, since `Quantity.per` can only ever take and return `Float`-valued quantities anyways. It can't be changed to `number` because...
