Conversion from imperial to metric

[catherrien]

I'm in Canada and at the groceries store packages are labelled in metric. It would be great if we could convert quantity from "imperial" to metric automatically.

I could obviously convert it myself when saving a new recipe, but what about being lazy then ? ; )

Happy to look into this - the current scale parsing utils already cover the challenge of identifying the measurements themselves, so this would largely be a task of converting measurement strings such as 1 1/2 cups.
