Anyway, Greg's opinion was that we should just document units in
documentation and not pollute names with that. I'm not sure if it
works for battery (because of current:mA vs. current:mW confusion).
Well, IMO you should never have "current:mW" in any form whatsoever
anyways. Electrically it makes no sense; it's like saying
"height:grams". Watts are an indication of power emitted or consumed
per unit time (as opposed to current/amperage which counts only the
number of electrons and not the change in energy), so perhaps
"power_flow:mW" or "power_consumption:mW" would make more sense?
I can conceivably see a need for a "current:mJ_per_s" versus
"current:mW" depending on the hardware-reported units, but never both
at the same time.
