Hello,

while I don't know of such a project implemented in Racket, I use this
C library sometimes, which does a decent job for unit parsing and
conversions:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/

You could control it easily through the Racket FFI, an example module
is attached to this mail, which can be used like this:

  (require "udunits.rkt")
  (convert-units 1.23 "m/s" "knots")

Ciao,
Thomas
