Note that there are some subtleties here, with different definitions of 
some customary units on different sides of the Atlantic. And, in some 
cases, multiple similarly named units on the same side of the Atlantic: 
consider "international mile" and "survey mile". I wouldn't be too hasty 
to merge the articles without doing detailed research on these 
differences, and very careful reading of the existing articles.
