The Units subsystem still only defines a handful of
units. Most of the fundamental SI units are defined,
but most CGS and Imperial units are simply not there.
Of course, devleopers can easily add their own units,
but users (of the spreadsheet app) cannot explicitly
add (AND name) units.

    This is no longer true with version 0.5 onwards. The
    framework now has a mechanism to dynamically load
    definitions of any units desired. There are still some
    deficiencies/omissions, and the performance of loading is
    not good. Further, it is not possible in 0.5 for the
    spreadsheet application to "see" the dynamically-loaded
    units (it can see the built-in units).
