Progress towards 3.0?

[GElliott]

I am really looking forward to the improved support for mixed underlying storage types in Units v3. There appeared to be quite a bit of momentum for a while there, but it looks like progress towards a 3.0 release have stalled out. What can folks do to help get things back on track?

@GElliott it's been a while since this comment, but we're once again trying to build momentum for a 3.0 release. I'd like to see it in Q1 of 2021 Q4 of 2020.

Some outstanding questions and issues have to be resolved:

• README and documentation updates
• Uses and examples of user-defined dimensions or categories
• Porting PRs and corrections from v2.3.1/master to v3.0
• Understanding viability of strong units in production, and working around the alias template issues
• finishing up the name refactor (renaming conversion factors and removing _t postfixes on unit types)

Anyone who has played with units 3.0 and is willing to put a paragraph or an example together for the v3.0 readme would making the biggest possible contribution towards the release.

For the second point, there's #124.
