A Measure cannot be turned into a Fraction easily:
>>> a = (lunation % day) / day
>>> a
0.53058912
>>> Fraction(a)

We can see already that Measure is a Generic[T] where T is a Real. This could be extended; Measure should subclass the Real itself rather than holding it as its value.
This would vastly improve interoperability and also reduce the necessary methods added to keep Real compatibility (.imag, __int__ and so on).
Indeed it may be possible to later support the superclass Complex, though the methods dropped by this may cause some typing headaches.
