Good question.  I did it just so that if the units (resulting from tom)
came out as equal, the lengths would still be considered different.=20
This was so that even if two lengths came out to be the same in
measurement, they would not be treated as identical.  As I think about
this more, it is probably a bad idea.  Maybe better to just use:

def __cmp__(self, other):
    return cmp(tom(self), tom(other))
