Pip pip, cheerio, toodleoo and all that.

Translations can be done cleaner in a separate package that defines translated aliases, and forward all calls to SIUnits.

...or in a submodule like shortunits?

swt30 commented 8 years ago

Yeah, this was a silly throwaway idea - I'm quite used to writing "meter" and "color" when programming. Not really worth it unless there are lots more alternate units or spellings that could use adding, in which case a submodule or another package would be the way to go about it. I know the astropy units package has separate modules for imperial units and all the weird units that astronomers use. But perhaps that is something better handled by an alternate approach, like that in Physical.jl.
