I frequently need to convert units and I find sage very useful in doing that. However, sage does not support conversion to natural units which is frequently used in particle physics. So I have to keep multiplying expressions by and c in each notebook. Is there a more efficient way to convert quantities from SI to natural units. Does anyone have a idea so that sage can automatically identify the length, mass and time dimension and multiply by appropriate power of and c. Also how difficult would it be to include this feature in sage?

Let me give a brief explanation of what natural units are. All the quantities in natural units are generally expressed a power of energy and c and are set to one. So one over length is equal to energy etc.
