I also discovered quantities today, they're übercool, but currently

It's fine with me. Any objections, Per?

I think that is fine.

CL has the concept of "potential numbers". It would be nice if the
syntax for a quantity satisfied that for a "potnum" (which would make
quantities a compatible extension), but it doesn't always, since a potnum
only allows two number markers (letters) in a row.
