You must be confusing the library with something else (or me with 
another David). I'm pretty sure that my original proof-of-concept 
is the most flexible of all of them, coming with support for 
composing arbitrary runtime conversion functions, affine 
quantities and so on. SI unit definitions are merely predefined 
in a second module because they are commonly used.

That being said, my implementation is ages old and could probably 
be done much better today.
