"""Add a new arbitrary unit that can only be interpreted in a project specific context
Occasionally the construction industry uses arbitrary units to quantify
objects, like "pairs" of door hardware, "palettes" or "boxes" of fixings
or equipment.
:param unit_type: Typically should be left as USERDEFINED, unless for
some bizarre reason you are redefining something you could use a
sensible normal unit for. In that case, firstly stop whatever you're
doing and have a hard think about your life, and then if life really
is going that badly for you, check out the IFC docs for IfcUnitEnum.

:param name: Give your unit a name. X what? X bananas?
:type name: str
:param dimensions: Units typically measure one of 7 fundamental physical
dimensions: length, mass, time, electric current, temperature,
substance amount, or luminous intensity. These are represented as a
list of 7 integers, representing the exponents of each one of these
dimensions. For example, a length unit is (1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0),
where as an area unit is (2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0). A unit of meters per
second is (1, 0, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0). For context dependent units, it is
recommended to leave this as the default of (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).

If you're in one of those countries who don't use SI units, you're
probably simply using SI units converted into another unit. If you want
to use _those_ units, you can create a conversion based unit with this
function. You can choose from one of: inch, foot, yard, mile, square
inch, square foot, square yard, acre, square mile, cubic inch, cubic
foot, cubic yard, litre, fluid ounce UK, fluid ounce US, pint UK, pint
US, gallon UK, gallon US, degree, ounce, pound, ton UK, ton US, lbf,

by a set number, you may specify it here. For example, fahrenheit is
1.8 * kelvin - 459.67. The -459.67 is the conversion offset. Note
