Yes! That would totally solve it. Although `truemm` is a but unwieldy.
Some kind of switch that modifies how `mm`,`cm` and `in` behave would be
better IMO.
If the platform doesn't have sufficient information to calculate the
physical DPI, it could fall back to 96.
Potential issue: non-square pixels (quite common in LCD screens that are
not at their native resolution).
