Well, in that case: Unless someone dislikes them very heavily, let's
just allow arbitrary floats as prefixes, preferably in the standard
floating-point literal form basically every programming language out
there uses, shan't we?  Simple, quick, does the job, not network
access required to parse units, and a very happy me.  Perfect!
