Package: units
Version: 2.19-1
Severity: wishlist
Idea:
Let's say we found some mysterious scale, but cannot figure out what
units it is reporting in.
We reach into our pocket and place an e.g., 3.75 gram coin upon it...
Let's say we observe the scale says "0.120". Well running
$ for i in pound dram carat grain oz tailiang kin liang troypound \
troyounce pennyweight jewelerspoint momme g apscruple;\
do units --one-line --verbose 3.75g $i; done | sort -k 3n | column -t
3.75g = 0.00625 kin
3.75g = 0.0082673348 pound
3.75g = 0.010047108 troypound
3.75g = 0.036075643 liang
3.75g = 0.1 tailiang
3.75g = 0.1205653 troyounce
3.75g = 0.13227736 oz
3.75g = 1 momme
3.75g = 2.1164377 dram
3.75g = 2.411306 pennyweight
3.75g = 2.8935672 apscruple
3.75g = 3.75 g
3.75g = 18.75 carat
3.75g = 57.871344 grain
3.75g = 1875 jewelerspoint
tells us the scale is probably talking in troyounces!
Problem is: all weight related units are hopelessly scattered around the
units file. We need to find each one by hand.
Well with a new --conformable flag, we could instead do
$ for i in $(units --conformable g); do ...
for the same effect.
$ units --conformable feet
yard km ft m mile ....
$ units --conformable gallon
liter pint gallon ...
