The library does not provide a text output for quantity points, as printing just a number and a unit
is not enough to adequately describe a quantity point. Often an additional postfix is required.
For example, the text output of `42 m` may mean many things and can also be confused with
an output of a regular quantity. On the other hand, printing `42 m AMSL` for altitudes above
mean sea level is a much better solution, but the library does not have enough information
to print it that way.
