Great, and thanks for the positive feedback on the central notion of points and vectors. That was the main thing I was worried about concerning acceptance by users, since traditionally people don't explicitly associate quantities with geometric representations and I was afraid they may just think it makes things more complex without understand its necessity. In realizing how great of a model points, vectors, and scalars are for working with all types of units, it completely changed the way I look at units even outside of programming, so I wouldn't be surprised if it does the same for anyone who would want to use it. I just hope that others agree that it is an accurate and highly beneficial model to use, despite the arguably drastic change in thinking that is associated it. -- -Matt Calabrese
