That you aren't familiar with something hardly makes it imaginary. That exact formulation of unit system is, I think, pretty uncommon, but there are widely used languages (vhdl) where uniting is more directly part of the type system and widely used uniting systems as libraries (boost) where it is not directly a language feature.

You could not use them for converting from say Celsius to Fahrenheiht. It's cute that you bring up Boost which contains everything and the kitchen sink as evidence of "widely used". Show me a 3d engine that uses physical units for distance calculations. No one does it because it is a horrible idea.
