+      * "Hz" (Hertz) for frequencies or "s" for "seconds". These unit types can
+      * combined with metric prefixes, for instance "kHz" (kilo Hertz),
+      * "us" (micro second), etc.
+      *
+      * Originally the script engine only supported abstract integer values for
+      * controlling any synthesis parameter or built-in function argument or
+      * variable. Under certain situations it makes sense though for an
+      * instrument script author to provide values in real, standard measurement
+      * units to provide a more natural and intuitive approach for writing
+      * instrument scripts, for example by setting the frequency of some LFO
+      * directly to "20Hz" or reducing loudness by "-4.2dB". Hence support for
+      * standard units in scripts was added as an extension to the NKSP script
+      * engine.
+      *
+      * So a unit consists of 1) a sequence of metric prefixes as scale factor
+      * (e.g. "k" for kilo) and 2) the actual unit type (e.g. "Hz" for Hertz).
+      * The unit type is a constant feature of number literals and variables, so
+      * once a variable was declared with a unit type (or no unit type at all)
+      * then that unit type of that variable cannot be changed for the entire
+      * life time of the script. This is different from the unit's metric
