Request for extension: table of quantities in the documentation for HAPropsSI like for PropsSI

[postmath]

It looks like both input and output quantities are routed through Name2Type in the HumidAirProp.cpp file. The error message in that function also appears to be somewhat out of date -- the givens Hha, Sha, Vha, Cha, Y, V, C, Z are not listed (nor are their aliases).

Correct. Could you make me a complete list of what is missing?

As far as I can see, there are 18 quantities that would be accepted: T, P, R, W, D, B, H, S, M, K, and the 8 quantities listed above. I think a table could have three or four columns: one to list all their aliases (once again lifted from Name2Type); one with the appropriate SI unit; one with a textual description; and maybe some form of info on what is appropriate for input or output, though I think (from reading the source, and from http://www.coolprop.org/fluid_properties/HumidAir.html) that the criteria are too complicated to capture easily in a table column.

Basically this one, right?:

Ah, cool! Yes, that's the one. If we include the paragraph directly below the table, and additionally Sha, Y, and Z :)

Reading that page very strictly, it says that these are the valid strings for input. As I understand it, they're also exactly the set of valid strings for output; it might be good to add that explicitly.

Thanks, Ian.
