Description

Concrete classes generally need to implement class-specific logic. Having good ABC structures underpinning the concrete classes makes defining new concrete subclasses significantly easier.

```python
class AbstractQuantity(ABC): ...

@final
class Quantity(AbstractQuantity): ...

class AbstractAngle(AbstractQuantity): ... # still an ABC

@final
class Longitude(AbstractAngle): ...

@final
class Latitude(AbstractAngle): ...
```

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating Quantity and its concrete subclasses, then review how class-specific logic is currently organized. Done means the requested abstract hierarchy exists, Quantity and the listed concrete classes have the stated relationships, and the abstract classes remain usable as ABCs.
