no parsing of strings representing units is required
* New units can be **dynamically defined during runtime**, no manipulation of
source files or configuration files is required
* Alicorn provides two concrete implementations of [`AbstractQuantity`](@ref) and [`AbstractQuantityArray`](@ref): First, [`SimpleQuantity`](@ref) and [`SimpleQuantityArray`](@ref), which explicitly contain a physical unit and is therefore easy to read and interpret. Second, [`Quantity`](@ref) and [`QuantityArray`](@ref), which store only the physical dimension and reference a common set of [`InternalUnits`](@ref). This structure reduces the need for unit conversions and is therefore particularly useful in larger numerical operations.

* Both kinds of quantities can be freely combined to allow intuitive manipulation of quantities.
