Allow "Eh" instead of "E_h" as an abbreviation for Hartree #712

A simple request. "Eh" is not currently in use, and it would be much nicer to type "Eh" than needing to type two shift-characters in a row.

"Eh" is the way "Hartree" is commonly written in plaintext, for example in the ASCII output of quantum chemistry/physics programs like ORCA or Turbomole. So for the people who would use Hartrees, "Eh" would be the intuitive unit. Thank you.

okay I've done it. my first use of github, so hopefully I didn't do anything odd.
