With our new dimension concept, we can define a canonical unit for a certain dimension. For example: meter: Length, joule: Energy. Or if someone uses Imperial, ft: Length. Then, if the user doesn't ask for an explicit conversion, we can figure out the target dimension and use the canonical unit.

This will allow us to solve sharkdp/purescript-quantities#27

See https://github.com/train-it-eu/conf-slides/blob/master/2022.09%20-%20CppCon/mp-units%20v2%20-%20new%20features%20discussion.pdf

=> there are N-to-1 relationships, e.g. torque ~ N · m ~ energy
or frequency (Hz) ~ activity (Bq) ~ 1/s
