<achin> sometimes i don't always remember what order i need to divide things to get the unit i want, for example:
<achin> !nb 1 tonne / 0.2 N
<achin> aw heck where is the bot
Charbot9000 has joined #numbat
<achin> !nb 1 tonne / 0.2 N
<Charbot9000> 1 tonne / 0.2 newton = 5 ton/N [Time² / Length]
<achin> seeing the [Time² / Length] part is quite useful, because i can quickly see that's not what i want
<achin> but i do wonder if it would be possible for numbat to somehow notice that inverting that yields a "simplier" unit of [Acceleration]

<sharkdp> we could certainly print `Acceleration^-1` in addition to `Time^2 / Length`.
<sharkdp> as in: If there is no direct match to any of the existing dimensions, maybe try if 1/D fits for any of the declared dimensions D

<achin> i was originally thinking about some type of "did you mean" suggestion, but i might like your idea more
