This thinking sounds right to me.

Good to have the function too.

I don't think so personally; there are many possibilities here for doing
the wrapping. An obvious one would be to interpret non-integer size
values as sizes in ems. Or you could have e.g. 2*EM, where EM is an
instance of some special class, that knows how to convert itself to an
int. Something like that.
