The currency conversion factors in /usr/lib/units are a decade
out of date, and quite incorrect by now. They should be redone. For
example, it has 1 dollar = 222 yen, where currently it's ~ 130 yen.
I don't know if it's worth updating them, since they'll just go
out-of-date again very quickly. In any case, this is a low-priority
problem, although I will file it in our bug database.
There should be a 'disks' unit.
What would this unit represent? Perhaps I'm an uneducated oaf (shows
you the value of an MIT education :-), but I don't recall any unit of
measurement called the "disk."
