Hello.

The solution is to write you dimensions as they truly exist and bypass 
"variable" naming like "Newton".

Use (Ampere Second Kelvin)/(Kilogram Meter) and make a list of all of the 
dimensions.

i.e. Permittivity (A^2 s^4 K^0)/(Kg m^3)

Sure there is some work involved but in the long run one will learn the 
nature of the dimensions and supercede archaic variable dimension units.
