@burnpanck - thanks for the very well-posed description of why units are so useful not as some meta-data, but as an integral property. Of course, this is also why making them part of a new dtype is a great idea! But failing that, I'd agree that it has to be part of something like an ndarray subclass; this is indeed what we do in astropy.units.Quantity (and concatenate does not work for us either...).

Now, off-topic but still: what is a little less wonderful is that there seem to be quite a few independent units implementations around (even just in astronomy, there is that of amuse; ours is based on things initially developped by pynbody). It may well be hard to merge them at this stage, but it would be good to think how we could at least interoperate...
