-------------------------+----------------------------
The .convert() function converts units to their base units, e.g.
{{{
sage: (units.energy.joule).convert()
}}}
{{{
kilogram*meter^2/second^2
}}}
The units of heat capacity are joule/kelvin/kilogram and since joule is
not a base unit, it should be possible to convert them to base units.
However, this throws an error:
{{{
sage:
(units.energy.joule/units.temperature.kelvin/units.mass.kilogram).convert()
}}}
{{{
Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback)
...
ValueError: Cannot convert
}}}
This seems to be the case whenever something is divided by temperature.
