--[[-----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

--[[
Later TODO Too many items to list, but following are some points:
- Some conversions require two outputs: {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}}.
- Some units have two values: {{convert|3.21|m|ftin}}.
- At least one unit has a plural symbol (our output is "(30 acre)"):
    {{convert|12|ha}} --> 12 hectares (30 acres)
