# things to canonical units. But this routine may be called with eg
# 120 minutes -> hours. So we convert both the current and target to
# canonical units, and divide the first by the second. (Doesn't work
# for adding units that aren't multiples of each other, but that's not
# what this tool is for anyway.)
