Remarks
PURPOSE: Encapsulate unit definitions used by the coordinate system framework for distance, angle, and area values. Supports conversions to and from base units such as meters, radians, and square meters.
BEHAVIOR: Each unit stores an EPSG (European Petroleum Survey Group) code, a WKT (Well-Known Text) name, a symbol, a unit type, and a conversion factor relative to the appropriate base unit. Automatic units use an ordered subunit list to select the most suitable display unit for a value.
CONSTRAINTS: Conversion factors are relative to base units. Automatic units depend on an ordered subunit array. EPSG and WKT uniqueness may be enforced by the owning list.
