After count dimensions (CountDim), the most useful user-defined dimensions will probably be rates. In the main code, I had already defined HeatingRate, and I was going to need FlowRate. It would be nice to be able to simply talk about a RateDim[D1,D2], with the notion that it knows that
if you multiply by D2 you get D1,
if you divide D1 by D2, you get it
if you take the -1th power, you get RateDim[D2,D1].
Generated quotients would go through this, so the actual results will be more specific, but it would allow the user to add at least simple rates and have them work correctly.
This will be especially useful with support for #255, as the notion of money in both the numerator and denominator is very useful.
