Implement a configurable convert for values with unit (UOM).
Provide a parser and formatter for units.
Support simple/base units such as m (meter), g (gram), s (second).
Support complex units such as m/s or g/cm³.
Support symobols for complex units such as W (1 watt = 1 J/s)
Support decimal, double and maybe other reasonable data types.
Units shall have a dimension: meter=length, second=time.
A symbol must be unique per dimension.
Units shall have symbols and names: m for meter.
Values shall be handled with separate scale and unit. 1.23 km: value=1.23, scale=3 (10^3), unit=meter
When parsing values the user should be able to provide a simple unit like dimension as hint if symbols might conflict: length/time
