The units must be compatible, i.e. length can not be +converted to volume. If a conversion can not be made an exception is +thrown. + +A combination chaining and reduction algorithm is used to perform the most +direct unit conversion possible. Units may be written in several different +styles. An abbreviation table is used to convert from common long-form +unit names to the (more or less) standard abbreviations that the units +module uses internally. All multiplicative unit conversions are cached so +that future conversions can be performed very quickly. + +Too many units, prefixes and abbreviations are supported to list here.
