A Dynamic Units of Measure Library in 9 Days

I created this library because I needed to handle units of measure, mainly the ones from the SI (International System of Units) ones (but also possibly more esoteric ones) and quantities in a system where the quantities and their units must be persisted in a database and where different "contexts of units" can coexist (think multi-tenancy). In the article I go over: a bit about the metric system and dimensional equation, standard and binary prefixes, handling aliases, normalizing units, and parsing.
