We have defined our own custom units and found their use to be identical to those provided by the library. We would like to see quantities defined using derived SI units printed using the derived units instead of the base units (W/m^2 instead of Kg/s^3).
Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this. (should it be joule/meter^2 second, newton/meter second, or pascal meter/second?)
It may be possible to determine the most parsimonious combination of named SI units, but I suspect that doing so would incur a significant amount of runtime overhead on all output operations... Matthias
