If you look over the current actual uses in the LaTeX kernel, they are
focussed purely on some aspects of font use. I suspect we'd be better,
long-term, to allow this sort of thing if at all only at the interface
layer, and to have all of the 'general' code stuff expect 'well defined'
dimensions. Means a doc change, but I feel an reasonable one.
