numberType in std::types

A number.

KCL numbers always include units, e.g., the number 42 is always '42 mm' or '42 degrees', etc. it is never just '42'. The number type may or may not include units, if none are specified, then it is the type of any number. E.g.,

• number: the type of any numbers,
• number(mm): the type of numbers in millimeters,
• number(in): the type of numbers in inches,
• number(Length): the type of numbers in any length unit,
• number(deg): the type of numbers in degrees,
