Hi,
I'm a civil engineer and I like to use ConTeXt to write my report etc.
As engineer i use a lot of units in my writing and the \unit command works
nice with this.

What I need is a new unit, a quadratic unit like this:
Area Moment of Inertia - Metric units mm4 cm4 m4

This kind of units are quite common in civil engineer.

This is an example of what i want in ConTeXt

\starttext
 \unit{230.00 m^2}

 \unit{230.00 m^3}

 \unit{230.00 m^4}
\stoptext

Thank you
Giuseppe Fierro
