    To be honest i don't really see the point of this function. What's the benefit of writing
      unitAsString()
    vs
      unit().symbol()
    ?

I also added a simple member function to the Value class, symbolAsString(), to immediately receive the current unit assigned to the Value object as a QString. I was running into issues with my code where doing v.unit()->symbol() wasn't working because I was getting KSharedPointers instead of the object, and the program would just crash. I just wanted the string! So I made a function, which helped with testing of the units.
