//
// Class description:
//
// This class maintains a table of Units.
// A Unit has a name, a symbol, a value and belong to a category (i.e. its
// dimensional definition): Length, Time, Energy, etc...
// The Units are grouped by category. The TableOfUnits is a list of categories.
// The class G4BestUnit allows to convert automaticaly a physical quantity
// from its internal value into the most appropriate Unit of the same category.
