Re: SI units updated

[reinert <reinkor@gmail.com>]

Great attempt! I have been looking after something like this. But you did not consider enumeration variables instead of strings?

But will you modify the "Time" issue? "Time" in Ada is "Calendar time" which is thought about as duration since a magic "year 0" on Earth (Middle East?)?  "Time" in physics is normally thought about as duration before/after a reference "event"/point in time/space - or "duration between two events/points in time/space. 

I have though not so far investigated you use of "Ada.Real_Time".
