/** @short Represents a phyical length

    This class is used to represent a physical length. Its main purpose
    it to help in the conversion of units, and to avoid confusion
    about units. To avoid misunderstandings, there is no default
    constructor so that this class needs to be explicitly initialized
    with one of the functions below.

    @warning Lengths are stored internally in mm. If you convert to
    or from any other unit, expect floating point round-off errors.
