--[=[ Extra conversion data used by Module:Convert.

--

-- [[Module:Convert/data]] defines all units and is transcluded in all pages

-- where [[Module:Convert]] is used. Testing new units by editing that module

-- would invalidate the cache for all affected pages.

--

-- For quick changes and experiments with new units, this module can be edited.

-- Since this module would beis transcluded in only a small number of pages, changes

changes-- should cause little server overhead and should propagate quickly.

]=]

-- If a unit is defined in the data module, any definition here is ignored,

-- so defining the same unit in both modules is not an error.

-- A unit defined here can refer to units that are also defined here, and

-- can refer to units defined in the data module.

--

-- Periodically, those extra units that are wanted permanently can be removed

-- from here after being added to [[Module:Convert/data]].
