The Kilogram constants defined in package System.Dim.Other_Prefixes (s-dmot=
pr.ads) look different compared to others such as Meter, Second,... In addi=
tion, the values do not match with names in the comments on the right side.=
 I would like to know why. By the way, the Meter, Kilogram and Second const=
ant are repeated here for easy discussion.
