Feature request: consider machine-checked units of measure

[rebcabin]

Pint (https://github.com/hgrecco/pint) is a pure-Python package with great support for machine-checked units of measure. This might be quite helpful in FME, especially at the boundary between User Interface (quantities expressed in aviator units of feet, knots, degrees, pounds-per-square-inch, etc.) and internal computations (in SI Coherent Derived Units https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_derived_unit)

Hi, @rebcabin. It is a nice suggestion and we will keep it in mind. We have been also considering astropy units (http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/units/). Is there any reason why you would choose pint over astropy?
