@JacquesCarette Hello Dr. Carette is there any way for me to help with this issue?
I've looked through #377 and the Language.Drasil.Misc
file's relevant code; if I can work on finishing this issue, I would like some clarification on what exactly needs finishing in the feature as you mentioned above as that is still unclear to me.
Eventually, yes. However, @halonazhao is working on things relating to units right now, and so it would be quite dangerous to do this in parallel. The likelyhood of a difficult merge are way too high.
So, I'm not immediately sure why we want to infer units of quantities. Is it to check that a symbol declaration's unit matches the unit of an expression we're trying to equate it to?
Yes, it is all about checking coherence. Some expressions might well have units that don't make sense (the same way things can be ill-typed).
This was started by @AKM11 (see #377 for some details, and code in
Language.Drasil.Misc
), but not quite finished. Definitely a good feature to have. As #377 what about a different problem, I'm going to close that one, and the current issue is for remembering to finish the feature itself.
