pint.registry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Defines the Registry, a class to contain units and their relations.

The module actually defines 5 registries with different capabilites:

- BaseRegistry: Basic unit definition and querying.
                Conversion between multiplicative units.

- NonMultiplicativeRegistry: Conversion between non multiplicative (offset) units.
                             (e.g. Temperature)

  * Inherits from BaseRegistry

- ContextRegisty: Conversion between units with different dimensions according
                  to previously established relations (contexts) - e.g. in spectroscopy,
                  conversion between frequency and energy is possible. May also override
                  conversions between units on the same dimension - e.g. different
                  rounding conventions.

  * Inherits from BaseRegistry

- SystemRegistry: Group unit and changing of base units.
                  (e.g. in MKS, meter, kilogram and second are base units.)

  * Inherits from BaseRegistry

- UnitRegistry: Combine all previous capabilities, it is exposed by Pint.
