Default symbol for litre #28

Closed anjoanjewierden closed 9 years ago

anjoanjewierden commented 9 years ago

The default for litre is currently small l, should that not be big L?

Unfortunately, there's no worldwide consensus about that. l is the original symbol, L the alternative one.

Hi Julien,

No big deal, although in the Netherlands big L is used in the class room and I'm developing software for that. There is some evidence that big L is not just a local thing. I have modified it in a local copy.

Needless to say I like the package a lot, and will suggest improvements pretty soon.

Regards,

Anjo.

A way to add aliases to existing definitions might be good? It would have to take over any old aliases by the same name in the constructor at least.
