Comment:
This needs more work as stated in the ticket description and seen by the
fact that not all functions included have doctests.
I don't think it makes sense to have 2 different units modules. I suppose
the goal here is to replace the existing one at some point. Is the
functionality here a clear extension of the existing one? Is there
anything that the current module does that this will not be able to do? (I
never used the units module.)
Besides the questions of functionality, here are a few things I noticed
when I read the patch:
* The `Units` class should derive from `SageObject`.
* I don't think introducing a function named `U` to the top level
namespace is appropriate. Users which need this functionality so often can
define such a shortcut in their initialization file.
