Hi all!

Is there an easy way to check if two quantities have the same dimension?

E. g. a user enters a weight in tons and asks for a conversion to kilograms. 
So now at run time I would like to know if tons and kilograms have the same 
dimensions (i. e. are convertable) or not (illegal conversion).

Thanks,
Thomas
