Add `decade` and `millennium` units? #219

Closed konsumlamm closed 2 years ago

konsumlamm commented 2 years ago

Numeric.Units.Dimensional.NonSI currently has a century unit, meaning 100 years. Decade and millennium are two other common units, meaning 10 and 1000 years, respectively.

This is an example of where the adding of units has been more need-driven than systematic. century is in there because many astronomical calculations I've used are based around (Julian) centuries. I have no objections in principle to adding decade and millennium.
