Added Dimensionless.jl in the readme #714

Looks good to me. Just a question: Do you know how this compares to UnitfulBuckinghamPi.jl? Do they overlap in functionality? I haven’t really looked at either package in detail, I just noticed that the documentation of this also mentions the Buckingham π theorem. |

Yes, UnitfulBuckinghamPi.jl and Dimensionless.jl have some overlapping functionality but both packages have a different focus. UnitfulBuckinghamPi.jl has a focus on the construction of dimensionless variables for a given physical problem. The structure of the dimensionless variables is printed afterwards and can be used in subsequent analysis. UnitfulBuckinghamPi.jl seems to be designed for an interactive use. The focus of Dimensionless.jl is less on the construction of dimensionless variables (this is happening as well but mostly hidden from the user) but instead on the automated changing between dimensionless formulations and equivalent formulations with dimensions in a coherent way. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would change the order of these items, so that the deprecated package is at the end of the list.
Hi there!
I just rediscovered an old but useful package called Dimensionless.jl for a recent engineering problem of mine.
Since it might be helpful to others as well, I've taken the liberty of adding it to the list of related packages.
