  38 --  * Dimensioned type
  39 
  40 --    A dimensioned type is a type (more accurately a first subtype) to which
  41 --    the aspect Dimension_System applies to.
  42 
  43 --      type Mks_Type is new Long_Long_Float
  44 --        with
  45 --         Dimension_System => (
  46 --          (Unit_Name => Meter,    Unit_Symbol => 'm',   Dim_Symbol => 'L'),
  47 --          (Unit_Name => Kilogram, Unit_Symbol => "kg",  Dim_Symbol => 'M'),
  48 --          (Unit_Name => Second,   Unit_Symbol => 's',   Dim_Symbol => 'T'),
  49 --          (Unit_Name => Ampere,   Unit_Symbol => 'A',   Dim_Symbol => 'I'),
  50 --          (Unit_Name => Kelvin,   Unit_Symbol => 'K',   Dim_Symbol => "Θ"),
  51 --          (Unit_Name => Mole,     Unit_Symbol => "mol", Dim_Symbol => 'N'),
  52 --          (Unit_Name => Candela,  Unit_Symbol => "cd",  Dim_Symbol => 'J'));
  53 
  54 --  * Dimensioned subtype
  55 
  56 --    A dimensioned subtype is a subtype directly defined from the dimensioned
  57 --    type and to which the aspect Dimension applies to.
  58 
  59 --      subtype Length is Mks_Type
  60 --        with
  61 --         Dimension => (Symbol => 'm',
  62 --           Meter =>  1,
  63 --           others => 0);
