by now, we should have the ability to deal with multiple sources of constants and select which standard to use (CODATA 2010/2014/2018, IAU 2009/2012, etc). It could be useful to have a tool to go through all available values of a constant and present the values against the standards which they match. For instance, the value for G in IAU 2009 is the same as CODATA 2006, which has been updated in CODATA 2014. Listing out the precision is also valuable.
