Thank you Raymond for a detailed patch update. 

I will mention that matlab does not support this conversion [1]. R doesn't 
support engineering notation, either.

It may be that this conversion isn't expected to be part of the standard 
library, and people are more likely to write their own. [2]

The rationale for engineering notation is that it corresponds to SI units of 
measure.
