-- Return a shallow copy of t.
Plan to write a program to generate the conversion tables below.
result = {}
The input would be a text file in human-friendly format, and
for k, v in pairs(t) do
the output would be the following tables.
result[k] = v
When a lot of data is added, it might be useful to put this in another module.
end
Values from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

--[[-----BEGIN DATA TABLES-----
Three data tables follow:
SIprefixes prefixes like 'M' (mega, 10^6)
units all properties for a unit, including default output
defaultunits default output exceptions ('Mg' and 'g' have different defaults)
SIprefixes and defaultunits are maintained by editing this file.
However, the units table is generated by a script which reads the wikitext
for a wiki page that documents properties of units.
Could consider putting some or all tables in another module.
Check values at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Convert/list_of_units

--[[
TODO Too many items to list, but following are some points:
- Output needs &nbsp; rather than space in several places.
- Some conversions require two outputs: {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}}.
- Some units have two values: {{convert|3.21|m|ftin}}.
- Remove commas from input numbers; add to output (always?).
- Use U+2212 MINUS SIGN for input + output number, not '-'.

--[[-----BEGIN DATA TABLES-----
Three data tables follow:
    SIprefixes      prefixes like 'M' (mega, 10^6)
    units           all properties for a unit, including default output
    defaultunits    default output exceptions ('Mg' and 'g' have different defaults)
SIprefixes and defaultunits are maintained by editing this file.
However, the units table is generated by a script which reads the wikitext
for a wiki page that documents properties of units.
Could consider putting some or all tables in another module.
Check values at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Convert/list_of_units
