apb e5b434bcf4 Really expand the name, not the definition, as the comment says. 2013-01-02 14:05:04 +00:00

apb c6933fca67 Add -l and -L options to units(1). "-l" simply lists all unit
definitions, while "-L" alsoreduces them to depend only on a few
primitive units (such as m, kg, sec).

apb 55f985ffa7 Correctly ignore duplicate definitions. "continue" applies only to the
innermost loop.

apb 1d8e06e4e4 Rename "tappit-hen" to "tappithen" because unit names cannot contain
hyphens.  Also change the definition from "3 imperial" (a dimensionless
quantity) to "3 bottle" (2.25 litres).  Wikipedia and several other web
sites say 3 bottles or 2.25 litres, but
<http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/wine/chateau-lafite-rothschild-vintage-1811-1-tappit-hen-per-4992576-details.aspx>
says:

    There seems to be no firm definition of the bottle size referred to
    as "tappit-hen". Believed to be of Scottish origin, a tappit-hen
    can vary, according to which definition one follows, from 1 1/2
    bottles to a tregnum or 3-bottle bottle. It is safest to say that it
    approximates to a magnum.

and ends with:

    1 Tappit-Hen (2.25 liters) per lot

apb fd02783e45 Allow a number and a unit to be juxtaposed without an intervening space.
Now "litres/100km" works as desired, instead of silently being
treated as "litres/100".

dholland 8cf15952a4 Update radioactivity-related units from http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/.
The prior definition of sievert was, as far as I can tell, entirely wrong.

Caution: while "gray" and "sievert" have the same dimensionality,
they're not interchangeable -- you need to multiply by a fudge factor
that varies depending on the type of radiation and the tissue it's
affecting. (Dimensional analysis is often not a substitute for knowing
what you're doing.)

It would be nice if units had a way to warn users when they're trying
to do something that doesn't make sense, since there are lots of ways
to do so, but it doesn't, and it wouldn't be easy to arrange in the
general case.

groo 83d3e13964 A hogshead is defined in the U.S. to be 63 gallons, and otherwise refers
to a volume unit of varying capacity (betwen 63 and 140(!)) gallons.

Since the U.S. is the only place it is defined, and I can find little
evidence to support the "barrel" definition, make it 63 gallons.

Like everything, this was prompted by the Simpsons.

"The metric system is a tool of the devil!  My car gets 40 rods to the
 hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!"
