units(1) is a classic tool and one of few that is justifiably large - it has to support hundreds of units and conversions, with locales and upkeep to maintain unit accuracy. It's fairly user-friendly too.

I think a byte unit converter (e.g. $ byteunits 5 TiB GB) would be useful but an actual units(1) implementation would be tough to justify.

our units(1) analogue would be minimal in its implementation. I’d like to just support SI prefixes and binary prefixes as they are widely applied across the world and mutually intelligible. If someone wants a converter for furlongs then they can use GNU units(1).
