Support metric prefixes for SI notation #497

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Allow the entry of metric prefixes for SI units of measure into an equation, 
and output it using SI prefixes if enabled by the user.

For example, entering "10e-9", could be entered as 10n (i.e. 10nano) or 1e6 
could be entered as 1M; 1.32e3 as 1.32k etc". When answers are calculated, it 
can be much nicer to see a result as 12u, instead of 1.2e-5

Please note, this is not a request to support SI units (meters, newtons etc), 
only SI prefixes.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_prefix#List_of_prefixes for standard SI 
units of measure.
