IncommensurableException extends RuntimeException

[Martin Desruisseaux]

Hello all

(Sorry for cross-posting; just realized that I should probably post on
units...@googlegroups.com instead than unitsof...@jscience.dev.java.net).

I just noticed that in the org.unitsofmeasurement interfaces, the
IncommensurableException is now an unchecked exception instead than a checked
one. This exception is thown only by the Unit.getConverterToAny(Unit<?>) method.

I guess that there is pros and cons for making IncommensurableException
unchecked. Personally, I liked better the checked exception in order to force me
to deal with units that are not garanteed to be convertible. Would it be
possible to:

1) either turn back IncommensurableException as a checked exception;

2) or if IncommensurableException stay unchecked, extends UnconvertibleException
rather than RuntimeException directly.

Regards,

Martin
