If that's the case then automatically processing them if the incoming query string argument has a unit suffix makes total sense to me.

Here's a pretty crazy idea: what if we exposed unit conversion to SQL as a custom SQLite function? That way it would be possible to optionally use units in actual custom SQL queries. 

I'd have to think quite carefully about performance implications here - wouldn't want a poorly considered unit calculation over a 500,000 row table to lock up the server. But I think the 1s query time limit might still prevent that.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",313837303,

I'd like to figure out a sensible opt-in way to expose this in the JSON output as well. Maybe with a `&_units=true` parameter?

We should definitely expose the units section from the table metadata in the output of https://wtr-api.herokuapp.com/wtr-663ea99/license_frequency.json","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",313837303,
