Hi,

first I would like to express my gratitude and love to this tool.

But one things that is missing for me is decibel units and operations like this:

>>> 100 W -> dBW
  = 20 dBW
>>> ans - 60 dBm
  = -10 dB
>>> ans -> W/W
  = 0.1 W/W

Is there plan or possibility of implementation?

From my brief overview of code log and log10 functions only take scalar numbers as inputs.

Thank you
