I would love to be able to initilize another type like this:

extension Unit where Self.UnitType: SignedIntegerType {

    init(_ value: Double) { //Ideally this could be generic too.

        self.init()

        self.value = Self.UnitType(value)

    }

}

You can do that if your constraining protocol defines an initializer with the desired signature.
I tried with both a struct extension and a protocol extension, no problem.

Is this about modifying the interface of SignedIntegerType, then?

Yeah I want a protocol (In this case Unit) expression that says if the
class implementing this protocol has an associated type which is a
SignedIntegerType and it is initialized with a SignedIntegerType.

Then it should set the property value (Which should be the same type as the
assosiated type) with that SignedIntegerType
