This form is quite much identical to BisqBot's .cl command, and also close match to Google's calculator.

Features that come from GNU units:

         Unit calculations:
                 Example: ".cl 5 km + 2 feet"
         Unit conversions:
                 Example: ".cl 16 m/s in km/h"
         SI units:
                 kg, s, m, A, cd, mol, K
         Prefixes:
                 atto,femto,pico,nano,milli,kilo,mega,giga, etc
         Derivative units:
                 newtons, watts, joules, tesla, volts, pascals, etc
         Heretic units:
                 inches, miles, furlongs, stadions, feet, teaspoons, etc
                 From USA, Britain, Greek, etc
         Currencies:
                 With three-letter currency codes. Rates are 4-hour recent.
         Constants:
                 Speed of light, electron mass, earth gravity, ...
         Functions:
                 spherevolume(), circlearea(), etc
         Math:
                 basic +, -, *, / operators
         More can be found at GNU units documentation / source.
         Some alternative spellings have been added,
                 such as mpg "miles per gallon" or rpm "revolutions per minute".
                 "h" is short for "hour", not for planck's const.
                 This enables "km/h" to work.
                 "once in blue moon" is recognized.

Radix conversions:

         Input:
                 <base> <number>, 0b<binary>, 0o<octal>, 0x<hex>
         Output:
                 in <base>
         Floating point values as well
                 "base-12 1.4e7"  =  (1 + 4/12) * 12 ^ 7
                 "0x1.5p+7"       =  (1 + 5/16) * 2^7
         Example:
                 .cl hex 5A10 in decimal
         Bases: binary, octal, hexadecimal, decimal, base-<number>
         Also roman numbers: use "roman" as the base.

Temperature conversions:

         fahrenheit to celsius and vice versa: .cl 5°C in °F

Alternative syntax:

         Spelling abbreviations out:
                 mass of electron, proton, jupiter, uranus, etc
                 radius of mercury, venus, etc
                 heretic units as "US <unit>" and "Imperial <unit>"
                 m=meters, C=coulombs, F=farads, etc
         Verbal functions:
                 "square inch" automatically converts to "inch^2"
                 "5 squared" automatically converts to "5^2"
                 "and" is +, "times" is *, "divided by" is /
                 "square root of __", "the __th root of __"

Plurals:

         All units and constants are recognized in English singular and plural
         In output, singular is used, except when preceded by a non-one number

Guessing the appropriate (SI) unit(s) of result

         ".cl 5V * 4A" outputs "20 watts", not "20 kg m^2 / s^3"
         Note: SI units favored. ".cl 5 inch + 5 feet" gives the result in
         meters, not in average 8-year old indian circus elephant heights
         or something equally funny.

Guessing the missing units

         Example:
                 ".cl 5 m^2 in Pa" gives a hint "Missing unit or constant: newtons"
         Sometimes, filling in an appropriate function automatically.
         Example:
                 ".cl 5 mg in GJ" gives "449.4 GJ (using formula: E = m*c^2)"
         Works even with reciprocal conversions

Operators:

         Factorials
         Choose operator
