Comment (by andrewthad):

 One of my coworkers Daniel Cartwright has put up a PR on github for making
 `Unit` and `Unit#` available. Also, I agree with Richard that `Unit` is an
 unfortunate name. Perhaps something like "single" or "only" is more
 accurate, but I don't know how many places these are used internally and
 what the cost of renaming them is.
