I didn't spot this work before I started on datasette-geo, but ironically I think it has a use case which really needs the inspect functionality (or some replacement).
Datasette-geo uses it to store the bounding box of all the geographic features in the table. This is needed when rendering the map because it avoids having to send loads of tile requests for areas which are empty.
Even with relatively small datasets, calculating the bounding box seems to take around 5 seconds, so I don't think it's really feasible to do this on page load.

Maybe with a &_units=true parameter?
From a machine-readable perspective I'm not sure why it would be useful to decorate the values with units. Edit: Should have had some coffee first. It's clearly useful for stuff like map rendering!
I agree that the unit metadata should definitely be exposed in the JSON.
> In #204 you said ""I'd like to add support for using units when querying but this is PR is pretty usable as-is."" - I'm fascinated to hear more about how this could work.
I'm thinking about a couple of approaches here. I think the simplest one is: if the column has a unit attached, optionally accept units in query fields:
```python
column_units = ureg(""Hz"") # Create a unit object for the column's unit
query_variable = ureg(""4 GHz"") # Supplied query variable
# Now we can convert the query units into column units before querying
supplied_value.to(column_units).magnitude
> 4000000000.0
# If the user doesn't supply units, pint just returns the plain
# number and we can query as usual assuming it's the base unit
query_variable = ureg(""50"")
query_variable
> 50
isinstance(query_variable, numbers.Number)
> True
```
This also lets us do some nice unit conversion on querying:
```python
column_units = ureg(""m"")
query_variable = ureg(""50 ft"")
supplied_value.to(column_units)
>
```
The alternative would be to provide a dropdown of units next to the query field (so a ""Hz"" field would give you ""kHz"", ""MHz"", ""GHz""). Although this would be clearer to the user, it isn't so easy - we'd need to know more about the context of the field to give you sensible SI prefixes (I'm not so interested in nanoHertz, for example).
You also lose the bonus of being able to convert - although pint will happily show you all the compatible units, it again suffers from a lack of context:
```python
ureg(""m"").compatible_units()
> frozenset({,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
})
