It might be nice to make testhelpers/Furlong.jl available in the Test standard library package, so that external packages could do using Test.Furlongs to perform dimensionful testing without adding a dependency on Unitful.jl.

Similarly for some of the other testhelpers, for that matter.

To me, adding a test-dependency for those who need it seems like a better choice than to bundle it inside Test to everyone.

Why is adding a test dependency on Unitful a problem?

👍 These seem to fit with GenericString etc.
