TASK DESCRIPTION
When entering units, it would be very convenient if one could type the
desired unit directly into the input field, instead of relying on a separate
selector widget. This is useful for copy&pasting quantities that are already
given with a unit ("2m", "7.2kg", etc), and for power users that want to save a
few keystrokes/clicks.
There are several options for what "names" would be accepted for unit input:
* The unit's (local resp vocabulary) name (Q-ID)
* The unit's label (localized, with fallback applied). Problem: May not be
unique, see {T86528}
* A unique, per language, unit symbol, see {T77983}
* The full URI of the unit
Another open question is the placement of units - are units to be entered
after the number(s), or may the be entered before the number, too? Would that
depend on the locale, or the unit? Some units are traditionally prepended,
especially currency symbols.
