Description
Hello
I'm new to this crate and just used the get function to get the value of a variable in the specified unit I wanted (great) but now I want to set a variable to a specific value in a unit.
Now when I search the docs for "get" there are a lot of results but when I search for "set" the results are actually the same as when you type "get".
I originally tried doing:
dist.set::<uom::si::length::meter>(0.0);
Which I feel like is an okay intuitive way to do it but got the error message
no method named `set` found for struct `Quantity` in the current scope
So I tried the next intuitive way which is
dist = uom::si::f64::Length::meter(0.0);
which yielded
error[E0599]: no function or associated item named `meter` found for struct `Quantity` in the current scope
So finally I did
dist = uom::si::f64::Length::new::<uom::si::length::meter>(0.0);
Which isn't the simplest or easiest way of using a variable that's already been declared, here's how I define the variable:
let mut dist: uom::si::f64::Length = uom::si::f64::Length::new::<uom::si::length::meter>(0.0);
So I suggest implementing a set function so that you can write
dist.set(uom::si::length::meter,0.0);
Or similar.
Also since my tone isn't heard very well across this text, I'm very pleased that this crate exists, it's very helpful for keeping my units in check!
I'm just a reformist so often when I see an opportunity for improvement I like to suggest it ^_^
Thank you :)
