request for implementation of astropy.units

[JWDobken]

The astropy package is excellent for calculations with units!
Is there a method to pass the Units (from astropy import units as u) to a pandas Series or DataFrame?

Otherwise, would it be nice to implement this approach somehow?

see various discussion here: #10349 (and linked).

this is not going to happen before pandas 2 as the lack of dtype flexibility within numpy. see wesm/pandas2#24 as well.

though even with a dtype this will require some work.

If you want to contribute would be greatly appreciated (even tests / examples / partial impl are helpful).
