Units of Measure applied to literal bindings are ignored

[reinux]

Instances of literal bindings assigned units of measure compile, but don't carry the measure.

Code to reproduce

type [<Measure>] rad
[<Literal>]
let pi = 3.14
let a = pi<rad>
let f (a:float<rad>) = a
f a

Expected behavior

Either an error on the assignment of a, or for f to accept pi

Actual behavior

Error	FS0001	This expression was expected to have type
    'float<rad>'    
but here has type
    'float'	F#

Known workarounds

let a = pi*1.<rad>

Yes the <rad> annotation in pi<rad> is being ignored when it should give an error

OR: @dsyme we could allow this, after all it makes sense to allow literal bindings to be augmented as measures just like literal values. Could add it here: fsharp/fslang-design#496
