Units #34
Description
It would be nice to integrate nicely with at least some flavor of unit conversion library.
CF standards are defined by udunit2, but that can be a bit of a beast to bind to in Python, so there have been a bunch of different attempts to work around that.

@ocefpaf has heard rumblings of a Rust implementation...

It would also be good to be able to explicitly set unit abbreviations.

I've been a happy pyudunits2 user. I haven't heard of any advancement in the other efforts BTW.
