That could work in some cases, however in our case it would not produce
desirable results. If the user put in meters, he is expecting to see
meters. My problem comes in only when the user put in values in multiple
unit types, which does not happen very often. It is generally a mistake,
but we would prefer to let them make the mistake and then see an
irrational result and correcting it, rather then telling them they
probably made a mistake.

I think Scara's solution makes the most sense. It is slightly cleaner
then using an array and comes up with the same result.
