Writing (SI) units in LaTeX in a better way

Generally I do not bother with aesthetics of the units I use but today from comp.text.tex newsgroup I found that there is a "sistyle" package for that purpose. It also handles numbers and angles nicely too! The example given there was the following.

\usepackage{sistyle}

.... 

\SI{5.9}{mJ/cm^2}
