Round tripping Quantities through String about dynamicquantities.jl HOT 3 OPEN

Just so I understand, would you want a way to parse the current pretty-printed output? Or would you want to have a printing function that gives something you can directly type into the REPL?

from dynamicquantities.jl.

Btw, is there a function in Base for prints that aim to give a string representation that can be typed back into the REPL? Like some show(::IO, ::Val{:raw}, x) or something?

I suppose either would suit my needs, maybe parsing units with the space might make more sense as "2 mL"/1 nM" etc is a pretty common way to write these quantities for humans!

I was looking and didn't find it, though I did realise I don't understand Julia's display system as well as I should.

Also worth noting a similar issue with Unitful: PainterQubits/Unitful.jl#470
