Exception for user interfaces, you should only use one length unit in
your code; it might as well be meter (m). Anything else leads to
confusion.

In user interfaces, you must use whatever the user wants, but you
should not need full Macks support for that, since you don't need to
do math on the displayed value; you only need to convert to/from the
standard unit
