I have an idea.
The units program is great, but it still makes no sense to the man on
the street when talking over the telephone, etc.
Therefore it should also have the ability to output plain English
[Spanish, etc.] sentences like:
"One hectare is equivalent to one hundred million square centimeters."
This would also be great for accessibility for people who need screen
readers, etc.
Not only should units be able to output such sentences, it should also
be able to read them back in and parse them too.
(Anyway, currently I did
$ units ha cm^2
* 1e+08
/ 1e-08
$ units --verbose ha cm^2
ha = 1e+08 cm^2
ha = (1 / 1e-08) cm^2
$ units hundred\ million
Definition: 1e+08
to indeed confirm my above sentence was correct.)
