The unit conversion mode "simplify" should make use of metric prefixes to simplify the returned unit even more.
Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of
ans = "pF*µV"
dat().toSIunits(1, "simplify", true)
ans = "1 pF*µV = 1e-18 C"
I'd expect something like
ans = "1 pF*µV = 1 aC"
I.e. the scaling factor is embedded into the metric prefix (1e-18 -> atto).
Describe possible alternatives you've considered

ANALYSIS
This is principle only possible for pure linear conversion, i.e. conversions, were f [UNIT] == f * x [UNIT] with some constant scaling factor x applies. It should then be possible to combine all scaling factors into the final factor, reduce it by a common metric prefix and add the latter to the final unit.
