/**
* A quantity combines a {@link DimensionalAnalysis} with an interpretation.
*
* This is similar in that is indicates whether values associated with it can be compared or added, but less absolute.
* E.g. you may add a 'length' to a 'width' (to obtain e.g. a circumference), or to assert e.g. that 'the width is greater than the length' Where is is absolutely senseless to ever add a 'width' to a 'temperature').
