 * Easy access methods for the Absolute Position DoubleScalar. Instead of:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * DoubleScalar.Abs&lt;PositionUnit&gt; value = new DoubleScalar.Abs&lt;PositionUnit&gt;(100.0, PositionUnit.SI);
 * </pre>
 * 
 * we can now write:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * Position value = new Position(100.0, PositionUnit.BASE);
 * </pre>
 * 
 * The compiler will automatically recognize which units belong to which quantity, and whether the quantity type and the unit
 * used are compatible.
