Question:Variable with Value Zero and Units

Is it possible to assign both a value of zero to a variable and a unit? Maple seems to be ignoring the units when I do that.

For example:

a := 0atm

Becomes simply a := 0. My workaround so far is to declare a very small value, e.g.:

a := 1E-6atm

This keeps the units for the variable a. Note that 0 pressure isn't relevant here (the same happens for 0m).
