Provides support for parsing and formatting string unit specification,
converting numerical values between compatible units, and performing arithmetic
on units (such as dividing one unit by another).

Examples of Intended Use
The following code will print the string "5 knots is 2.57222 m/s":
UnitFormat format = UnitFormatManager.instance();

Unit meter = format.parse("meter");

Unit second = format.parse("second");

Unit meterPerSecondUnit = meter.divideBy(second);

Unit knot = format.parse("knot");

if (meterPerSecondUnit.isCompatible(knot) {

    System.out.println("5 knots is " +

        knot.convertTo(5, meterPerSecondUnit)
+

        ' ' + format.format(meterPerSecondUnit));

}
