Is a "count" not a valid unit?

  "count" is an incomplete type, the same as "array" is an incomplete type. "count of fruit" would be a complete type, compare to "Array of int64". SI leaves this underspecified, which causes confusion with dimensionless units.

    > "count" is an incomplete type, the same as "array" is an incomplete type. "count of fruit" would be a complete type, compare to "Array of int64". Javascript has arrays of unspecified types, and count of items of such arrays. I don’t think your analogy holds

      Perhaps the SI system needs generics :)
