I need to see how this is done in etoolbox, as expansion could be an
issue. I'll see what I can do (while retaining generality).

My thinking also. I'm also keen from my own point of view to improve
siunitx. To do that, I want to revisit the structures I've used, as a
lot of things were written as things came up, rather than in a
structured manner (see my worries about the options, for example).

I shall start on this once I've finished what I'm doing at the moment
(some biblatex styles). Ideas on a sensible return format for a parsed
number would be good. I'm currently thinking about using property
lists, but need to work through how everything will fit together.
