LessUnitful

===========

Small package which provides convenience tools to access quantities based on [Unitful.jl](https://github.com/PainterQubits/Unitful.jl) and [PhysicalConstants.jl](https://github.com/JuliaPhysics/PhysicalConstants.jl) in an "unitless" way -- as floating point numbers representing the numerical value of a quantity expressed in preferred units (SI base units by default). This appears to be useful in projects using code which cannot easily made unit-aware, e.g. due to the use of sparse linear algebra. 

## Breaking changes in v1.1

- `Unitful.@u_str` is not anymore re-exported. Instead,  `using Unitful` should be used.

- The functor method  `(::Unitful.FreeUnits)(x::Real)` is now exported by the submodule `LessUnitful.MoreUnitful`.

  So if  something like `x=1|>u"cm"` is required (which should give 100cm because `1` is assumed to be a value

  in the SI Basic units in this method), one needs `LessUnitful.MoreUnitful`. Due to the type piracy behind this,

  using this in packages should be avoided. 

- Calculation of physical constants like `ph"N_A*e"` has been removed as this depended on undocumented internals of

  `Unitful.jl`. Just replace this by  `ph"N_A"*ph"e"`.
