YTEP-0028: proposal for adding the capability to switch between different unit systems

Hello all,
I’ve just submitted a PR for adding the capability to switch between different systems of units in yt (e.g., cgs, MKS, galactic, etc.):
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/ytep/pull-requests/58/adding-ytep-0028-for...
I and others have already put in most of the work for this functionality, which will be submitted as a new PR to the codebase soon. Please read the YTEP for an overview of the proposal, and leave comments and suggestions.
Best,
John Z

This YTEP might be easier to navigate if you read the compiled version:

One thing that got bikeshed a lot in person last week was the discussion in here about derived fields (starting around line 197 as of right now), which we eventually settled on the solution proposed in the YTEP. So, feedback on that would be welcome.
