With my "no new syntax" suggestion there would be no question here -- the only way to write it would be

I'm very sympathetic to the "no new syntax" suggestion, but suppose I wanted to know how many cm there are in an in: cm_per_in = 1 * in / 1 * cm Of course that's a silly mistake, but the (sole, IMO) advantage of the original proposal is that you can't make that silly mistake.
