New issue 776: Getting things into units is not easy https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/776/getting-things-into-units-is-... Matthew Turk: We should have an easier way to get things into units. This currently fails (which is an actual bug): ``` #!python UnitFulObject - 1.0 * UnitFulObject.units ``` But in general, we need an easier way to manage times where the units are tricky, or nasty, or whatever. It would be nice to have something *like* dimensionless that is a "passthrough unit." Like an "any_unit." So I should be able to do: ``` #!python UnitFulObject - 1.0 * any_unit ``` and the system will see any_unit, convert to the units of the `other_array` and then pass through. This would get around some of the issues that we run into in many instances. Responsible: ngoldbaum
