/**
 NMODL translated MOD files get unit constants typically from
 share/lib/nrnunits.lib.in. But there were other source files that
 hardcode some of the constants. Here we gather a few modern units into
 a single place (but, unfortunately, also in nrnunits.lib.in). Legacy units
 cannot be gathered here because they can differ slightly from place to place.

 These come from https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Constants/index.html.
 Termed the "2018 CODATA recommended values", they became available
 on 20 May 2019 and replace the 2014 CODATA set.

 See oc/hoc_init.c, nrnoc/eion.c, nrniv/kschan.h
