Hello, I've been using an enhanced version package combining units and physical constants for several years. I started off wanting things like a symbol hbar that would only turn into the numerical value PlanckConstant when I applied N to an expression. The latest version includes registration of symbols in a database that allows you to do automatic dimension checking of expressions. It can be downloaded from http://jowett.home.cern.ch/jowett/Accelerator/ConstantsUnits.html The notebook implementing the package contains examples. The choice of physical constants is oriented towards the ones used in my field but could easily be adapted.
