They're definitely a vast improvement over status quo ... but they don't
check for, e.g., sign of hflux, and cannot discriminate between N/m^2
and dynes/cm^2.  One compromise would be to add a "strict_check"
flag, which is .FALSE. by default, and which carries out more stringent
tests.  I can take care of second strict flag (if Patrick is about to cut my 
futton length to 0.85 m after this discussion ;-)
