[github-actions]

Hello, I am an automated registration bot. I help manage the registration process by checking your registration against a set of AutoMerge guidelines. If all these guidelines are met, this pull request will be merged automatically, completing your registration. It is strongly recommended to follow the guidelines, since otherwise the pull request needs to be manually reviewed and merged by a human.

1. New package registration

Please make sure that you have read the package naming guidelines.

2. AutoMerge Guidelines which are not met ❌

• Package name similar to 1 existing package.
  1. Similar to BitConverter. Damerau-Levenshtein distance 2 is at or below cutoff of 2.

3. Needs action: here's what to do next

1. Please try to update your package to conform to these guidelines. The General registry's README has an FAQ that can help figure out how to do so.
2. After you have fixed the AutoMerge issues, simply retrigger Registrator, the same way you did in the initial registration. This will automatically update this pull request. You do not need to change the version number in your Project.toml file (unless the AutoMerge issue is that you skipped a version number).

If you need help fixing the AutoMerge issues, or want your pull request to be manually merged instead, please post a comment explaining what you need help with or why you would like this pull request to be manually merged. Then, send a message to the #pkg-registration channel in the public Julia Slack for better visibility.

4. To pause or stop registration

If you want to prevent this pull request from being auto-merged, simply leave a comment. If you want to post a comment without blocking auto-merging, you must include the text [noblock] in your comment.

Tip: You can edit blocking comments to add [noblock] in order to unblock auto-merging.

Hi! Can you elaborate on the difference between your package and existing options like Unitful.jl?

[raphasampaio]

Hi @gdalle, some time ago I used Unitful.jl and there were a few things that weren't working well for my application, mainly related to string unit parsing. However, after your comment I decided to test it and it seems that several issues have been resolved. I'll continue my tests to see if it's sufficient. In the meantime, could you please close this pull request?

No worries, it won't be merged as long as our comments stay that way!
