I don't think so: periodicity and units are quite different things.
For example: an angle could be used also to indicate direction (-180°
!= 180°) or distance in space (0° != 360°), while integers for example
could be cyclic (rhythms, tones/semitones/harmony, musical cycles,
etc.)...

* An LV2 extension would allow you to do that
quite easily in LV2,
which is probably preferable these days.
Maybe belongs in the units extension?
