Casts should be used only when necessary. Unneeded parentheses
should also be avoided if they don't make the code easier to understand.
+@item
+Where applicable, SI units shall be used. For example timeouts should use

+That means a bare value like @samp{1.0} must mean 1 second, @samp{50m} means
50 milliseconds. For weight, gram shall be used.
