React Quantity
A measured value has a right way to be shown, and most software gets it wrong. Quantity renders significant figures, engineering notation with SI prefixes (3.20 µA, not 0.0000032 A), scientific notation with real superscripts, and ± uncertainty — all in monospaced tabular digits so columns align. It's the read-only partner to the Unit Input, and the exported formatQuantity() drops the same formatting into tables, tooltips, and the Spec Sheet.
