Questions about units

I've more or less finished my first real feature script. Thanks for all the help! I had excellent help from the forum. I have questions about values with units.
I think everything in the database has meters as the length unit. Other units are assigned as conversions from meters. When I print values via "debug()", the values are in meters. Can I convert them at print time to inches?
How do you change numbers to values with units and back?

Just multiply it by the units. e.g. Foo * inch
if it is a complex debug message with lots of outputs then this probably won’t work.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEAI5
