Does anyone else see a need for this?
You could start with "src/Mod/Measure". It has a framework for storing measurement points and calculating the value. No Gui and somewhat incomplete. The measurement tools from Gui could logically be moved into this.
you didn't try very hard, this is a recurring subject
no, measurement should be a standalone tool available in all workbenches. It is needed for all workflows.I've been thinking of a new workbench, Measurements Workbench

Also I don't have support for angles because I don't see FreeCAD tool to measure angle from python. To add support for that I would have to create my own measurement drawing function, this may not be soon. But maybe in the future this will be improved somehow.
