There were no macros in my C++ code, and there are no macros
in Ada. Generics/templates are not inherently flawed.

Yes, that seems to go along with your "inherently flawed".
You're wrong, because units exist, even in the real world,
only to serve as type tags. The operations on them are just
pure arithmetic on the values they represent; the unit itself
plays no part in the calculation. (Aside from the silly biased
temperature units, which are just dispensed with by working in
Kelvin.) I fail to see the need for any OO approach to units.
What are you placing in derived types which is different from
the base type? Why do you want run-time dispatching?
