Great question. I believe each unit struct would need to implement PartialEq or something similar. That would define the canonical nesting order. Alphabetical would make sense.

We would to resolve the nesting during multiplication and division. For example:

    let a: Scalar<Times<A, B>> = Scalar::new(10.0);
    let b: Scalar<Times<A, Times<B, C>>> = Scalar::new(5.0);
    let c: Scalar<Times<A, Times<A, Times<B, Times<C>>>> = a * b;
    

Another challenge is that the type of c is ugly. But this could be mitigated by generous use of type synonyms.
