F# units of measure are nice, but what if I'm using a 3rd-party library which doesn't support UOM? I don't want to re-implement the library, but it would be nice to add the extra safety afforded by UOM. Can I somehow annotate the APIs of the 3rd party library with units?
Yes!
Say you have some unit-free external library like this, which you can't modify:
